Glad to hear you are ok man. Sucks about the teg, hopefully you can fix her up and get her back on the road.

[Tippey764]

Fuck i think the front lower sub frame might be bent. I hope to shit its alright.

[Tippey764]

Ugh i just put in 5 hours to get the sub frame off. Luckly EVERYTHING went smoothly. I only had 1 small problem getting the steering rack out at the end, the joint was not released enough to let it slide out. Besides that i didn't have a single stubborn bolt, stuck clip or random bullshit problem, even the bitch pin on the shifter assembly came out with ease.





The damage

That doesn't look like much fun.

[Tippey764]

The project is slowly moving along now



The new sub frame



The guy also gave me a 9293 intake box, its slightly better since it has that extra inlet on the back

How much did that run you?

Pick and pull?

Guy on craigslist

I got this from him

Front lower sub frame
Front left lower control arm
steering rack
front sway bar
windshield wiper cowl
1 front mud flap
shift rod in better condition than my own

All for $60. he was an 80 mile drive ( 160 round trip ) but it was worth it.

Wow that was a nice steal for only 60 bucks plus alittle in gas money.

I need to replace my front subframe but have been putting it off...

Whats wrong with yours?

[Nurega]

I'm very impressed with all the repair work you're able to do at your age. I hope the rest of the job goes smoothly. Good luck!

I hit a patch of ice and slid into a curb and i took it to a shop(should have done it myself) and they replaced the lower control arm and i had a spare rim that they threw on as well. The mechanic didn't say the frame was bent though? He said to just get cheap tires from now on? I think that the shop did not know that the subframe was removable?

I wanted to see if they over looked anything so i took off the plastic cover that protects the front subframe. I noticed that it looked somewhat damaged. I was at a pick and pull trying to get the subframe but the bolts were stripped so i just took the toe bar i believe(piece that hooks up with the flexpipe hanger).

Well the holes don't line up mine are off by a 1/2 inch. So i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at this point because as of right now had two alignments since then. They have said it is 2 degress off or something? So now it is eating away at the inner portion of my tires.

I figured i would try and replace anything that i noticed was damaged but i think it is leading me to believe the frame may have been damaged....and it maybe ireversible...

[Tippey764]

Well after an ass load of work and money the car is back together and driveable for the most part

Parts i had to buy

2 new lower ball joints
2 new tie rods
2 new axles

a new wheel ( i just bought a new set of wheels )

A new left lower control arm
A new left knuckle
Exhaust gaskets

All in all i think i've spent about $600 on this car for this accident. fuuuuuu

[Tippey764]

parting it out back to stock in lieu of the new replacement
