Sub frame?

well let me make this story short...

I hit a curb and bent my subframe....

ok

well now i wanna fix it, i changed my LCA and in going to change the nuckel.

should i

1. go to a really good frame straightener and he perfectly matches each side to OEM.... which cost 300 includes alginment, since i really need one from my recent drop

2. jsut replace the sub frame and not be a cheap ***... and pay 1600(its all labor) and includes a alignment...

Now let me ask you something here, how fast were you going and which part of your car hit the curb? Cause I ran into a curb at liek 10-15 and the passenger front whell took most of the impact (steel) and no I got the shakes at 80+.

here's an idea, engine swap now, you have to change out the subframe anyway

Here's an idea, don't post unless you have something intelligent to say.

I hate ignorant peasants.
