    So, I was underneath today putting another can of fluid film on and I noticed this hole above the drivers side control arm on the frame. The passenger side has one as well but it looks more of a cleaner hole compared to the drivers side, like it’s meant to be there. I’m guessing by the passenger side this is normal but I wanna double check too make sure. Thanks

    Looks like it's just where they ended the weld when the frame parts were welded together.

    Yep, looks normal to me. It appears to be like @Dm93 said and it's just where the weld stopped. It looks fine.
