Default Need some serious help!

For some reason my rear driver's side toe angle can't go back anywhere near zero.I took it to get aligned and the tech showed me that it would only go so far out before it would track back inward.The best they could get it was 1.38,well out of range.

last week me and a friend worked on it for a couple of hours to try and see if we could do anything to get it right.He added some weld to the bolt to help kick out the tire a little more but it only helped a small amount and didn't really do the trick.We looked to see if anything was bent and the only thing that I could see was that the section where the rear bolt hole of the sub frame is, appears to have a small bend inward,and I'm talking less than 1/8".

Could this be causing all of my troubles and where online can I find a replacement?I have searched for hours and can only find sub frame braces and not an oem replacement.I would rather not rely on these type of parts from the junkyard but I'm gonna go and check it out anyway if I can find it in good condition.

Anyway,please help.Thanks.

Because a car is at a junkyard.. .doesn't mean everything in it is bent and messed up.
I really can't think of your subframe causing that. If i were you, i would get the entire side of the suspension from another car and call it a day.

there's a lot of category in there and many selection and they
are not one of the things that belong to a junkyard that you have
mentioned. These have great quality and I'm sure it will save you more.

The entire suspension was changed this past March so I don't think that was the problem.I had GC/Tokico blues on and switched to a full coilover setup.There was the same problem with the toe before I changed the suspension because the tires are wearing out the same.
