Default Bent Rear Subframe

Did a search and couldn't find any info I needed. Just wondering if any one here has bent their rear subframe and had been able to get it pulled out with a frame machine? I thought my rear trailing arm was bent but it turns out my rear subframe is bent in a lil on the passenger side. So my wheel looks likes this l_l====/_/ *it has just a lil bit of noticable positive camber and the car pulls to the left but not bad at all* Also I've been quoted $150 just to get my car on the frame machine. Then additional costs for however long it takes to get fixed. Anyone have experience with this?

I have the same problem on my old CRX that I am rebuilding. I'm definitely interested in the answer.

you dont really have much option.

you cant buy a new subframe anymore from honda.

you can only cut it from another chassis and reweld it on.

its up to you if the frame is worth fixing.

Yes I had an old car that I slide side ways into a curb and crushed my subframe. I have a buddy with a frame machine he pulled it, and it had no ill effects afterwards. As long as it isn't too crushed you should be able to fix it. My buddy did complain that it was a PITA to get it hooked up in the frame machine.
