Default 97 Ek sedan rear subframe damage.

I was looking around under the car and noticed a slight bend in the LCA and on closer inspection noticed this.







Sorry about the crappy flashlight pics. Lol.
I haven't noticed any effects in the way it drives. Doesn't pull left or right or anything like that. Anyone have any recommendations for me in what i should do? I really don't wanna scrap the car as i just put a new motor in it and a fixed a few other things.. Any advice would be awesome.

If you can get it aligned without issue and have no drivability problems then don't worry about it. I have similar damage.

Okay, well thats good to know. Should i attempt to bend it back at all? or leave it alone altogether? I would at least like to replace the LCA, im just not sure if that LCA bolt will come out without bending the metal back.

You may have to. I had to. But I was never able to get the subframe straight.
