The control arm got totally bent, and the half-shaft got pushed into the subframe and left a dent. http://www.flickr.com/...5988@N07/8817588255/ Worse still, it bent the subframe support bar, you can see the buckle in the first picture and the second shows a stress crack up front. http://www.flickr.com/...5988@N07/8831644216/ http://www.flickr.com/...5988@N07/8817586103/ Not to mention the whole subframe shifted 1/2" or so. http://www.flickr.com/...5988@N07/8831639818/ Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or have an guestimate on how much an auto body shop would charge for this? If I can loosen the bolts and slide the subframe back into its original position, and hammer the subframe support bar back into place and tack on a weld is that all an auto body shop is going to do? Or is there alot more damage here than I'm really seeing, like the whole subframe needing replaced? I already replaced the lower control arm, and thats when I noticed the wheel was still back in the well and found the bent support for the subframe...had been hoping the dent in the subframe wasn't anything to worry about, but its turning into my "can o worms"... Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You need to take photos with the car on a lift from below, getting everything in one picture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Not ever my trade but worked with those that did as many do. There are measurements to minute fractions if off in the wrong places require it right in front of you for subframe and this pillar support, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
