Perhaps the threaded section is still good but where it fastens to on the underframe is rusted?

The little cylindrical nub that sticks out, showing in the picture that Stretch posted of his underbody with subframe removed, is this the actual part where the threads are? or are they further up in the body?
They're further up inside the body in a closed cavity...
