If it hasn't been done id bet there's a 99% chance it needs done. Or you can cut an access hole in the rear floor near the pad and have some one who knows what their looking at inspect it. From pictures I've seen when hulls delaminate it doesn't look pretty.

Since you have a floor issue any way, go ahead and remove it. The core will be easy to diagnose now. Black is rotten. Best of luck. :up:
