had a small accident and ended up with a hard impact to the front passenger wheel. the wheel is now pushed back 1 inch over where it was originally. bent subframe? or control arm? i originally thought it was just a control arm but had a friend make a suggestion that it may be the whole subframe is bent. i cant tell from looking at it with it all attached to the car so im kinda hoping to come up with something soon

do you ever notice that the ones who talk the loudest have the least to talk about?
i have the SAME prob as you and my car has a shifted subframe my auto teacher told me i also need a new left C.A my tire sits like a inch back aswell good luck getting it fixed
to replace the subframe it is a 2hr job in the driveway with hand tools, less than an hour with air tools
I had the same thing happen, had a body shop fix it and it turned out to be a bad control arm, steering knuckle, and wheel hub. The control arm is why it is sitting back farther.

yeah i highly doubt you can do a full replacement of the subframe in an hour. videotape this so i can see you do it.
