Replace/repair the crossmember...

Your mechanic is an idiot.

yeah... get a new or used good conditon crossmember I know mine is about to go out I am using mad load of wd40 to keep fighting of the rust. To be safe don't even let your mech touch your car cause I learned the hard way stupid mech tore up my 3rd gen. Get another mech.

even buying a new cross,memeber for around $350 a piece brand new is better than investing in another car

like i say, he's not my mechanic but it's hard to find a mechanic in MD that's a nissan enthusiast, i've met a lot of good mechanics but im very picky about my car and most mechanics that i've met just haven't make the cut, i know maxima's can be a B!tc# to work on at times but when a mechanic looks a lil bit doubtful to work on the maxima i really cant trust em, i want someone that looks forward to working on any nissan and they hardly exist in MD
