a few days ago i banged my driver side wheel on a side walk…and now the wheel has gone in around an inch…first i thought it was the control arm…but then i was told its not…can seem to figure it out i guess without taking it to a shop…but off the top… with the experience the People on this board have…wut would u think the problem is? ---

Can you PLEASE try and use correct english ? On the above note, it may be likely that the wheel has been damaged itself, as well check the all the control arms, they may not be visably bent so compare the suspect ones to that of the other side. ---

Getting a subframe pulled ranges from $1500 - $2000 its not worth it, you might as well just find another subframe and have it swapped because its alot cheaper, which is what im in the process of doing. I just finished cleaning up my new subframe today =) and I am considering changing the subframe bushings even though they are fine. Ken ---
