Hi,

Do you know any good body shop that can inspect/repair
shifted sub-frame? I will be paying out of my own pocket
so I would like to find out an unexpensive one that can do
good estimation and decent work.

I found the problem after I ran my car over the curb. The dealer said alignment cannot be done since the subframe is shifted.

Thanks a lot.

 

I'm not sure of any shops, but you might have to replace the subframe altogether. That might also not be the only problem. Did you have someone check out what else was wrong? Are the LCAs (lower control arms) bent? You could be looking at more repairs than you know. Good luck.

 

I am at Santa Clara. Any suggestion is appreciated

Pete

 

eek bent subframe thats all bad. how'd it happen? how bad is it bent?

 

SnoHumper,
I am not sure how bad is it bent. The folks in service dept told me the subframe is shifted.

dubc15,
Thanks for the input. I will give them a call. The other place I found is custom alignment in Mountain View. Any experience there?

 

why not just get a new subframe? its like 240 dollars i tink from subaruparts.com

 

Good to know but I cannot find the sub frame from the site.
Do you know the part no. or the link?

Thanks a lot.
