Pictures. My rear subframe has slight damage to it. Bought an ASR piece to reinforce it and haven't had any real problems with it.

Double nope. This is probably totalled. Lemme guess. Bald tires. No traction. Slid off the road.

~RareP3~

nope i got ran off road and curb checked hard......well the rest of the car is fine just the sub frame bent. i was hoping i could probably weld a new one on

Yes, it can be fixed. However, it's best(cheaper) to just find a new shell/car.

~RareP3~

thats what i was scared off. ill probably be parting it out soon if i cant find an alternative

That looks like it was pushed up into the cabin.

It wouldn't be worth it.

holy ****....like everyone else said, it CAN be fixed but with the price a shop will charge you just buy a new shell. Or sell/part out what you got and start from scratch, although that should be a last resort.

~RareP3~

Yeah so should I try to see if fixable or part out

sfar785

part out, buy new shell.

~RareP3~

Oh well at least that's the only thing that got messed up

Buy new shell. Move parts to new shell.

it is safer. after repair of this would have problems with the rear suspension angles

NOFX

I've seen rear subframes get cut off cars and new ones welded in but:

- It's high risk (if it's not welded back right then it's not going to fit or drive right still)
- It's possibly not safe
- It could be expensive
- It does look like there could be damage into the cabin, so a repair might be impossible

So you could end up spending a lot of money to make a car possibly unsafe to drive.

The OE piece appears to be about $190. If you were to use a donor car then you need to cut out more than that part in order to have a good donor piece that you can trim up and fit to your car.

I'd get rid of the car (part it out unless you can do an insurance claim) and get a new one. Also get some new tires.
