How difficult is it the tweak the rear subframe on an AP2. I hit a curb pretty hard, and bent my rear lower control arm, and toe bar. This is on the rear left side.

After replacing the lower control arm, and toe bar, I centered all the alignment bolts. The left suspension look pushed farther in then the right. If all the alignment bolts are centered should the suspension be equal on both sides? Does this mean the subframe is bent?

How common is it to see the alignment bolts adjusted differently between left, and right?

Pete-

 

Did you get a alignmetnt?

 

The subframe can get pushed over.

 

I have not had an alignment yet. I'm trying to get it sorted out before I spend the $ getting it alligned.

The issue between the left, and right is camber. the left tire is almost perpendicular to the ground, and the right tire has some negative camber. I can actualy measure it.

If the subframe was pushed over it would still be equal on both sides. So i dont think its pushed. Could it be parrellelgramed /iiii/ from the imapct?

Any thoughts

 

get it on a rack, it's all guess work right now.

dont bother with an alignment now, it's gonna be a waste of money

 

If i get it on a rack are they going to measure point on the sub frame to make sure its strait?

 

Take it to a reputable body shop and ask them to measure and see if the rear subframe is bent. They will take several measurements and find out if its in the correct place. Or if someone on here can get you the measurement sheet you might be able to do it yourself. I can't get on the Honda technician website from this computer or I would gt it for you.

 

Gotcha…. I see little holes along the bottom tubes of the subframe. Those are probably measure points. I think I'll bring it to a shop, and have them measure it up.

I've replaced all the arms, and spindles on both sides. It got to be the subframe. not good.
