Default sub frame bent?

i went to alignment guy and he told me that he couldnt give me alignment because something was bent... i noticed how one wheel sticks out further and it was suppose to.. do you guys think its just a subframe that needs to be replaced?







and this was the accident it was in



they said they replaced control arms and whatever needed to be replaced.. car drives fine and normal..

Your right one def seems to not stick out as much....that could also be perspective though. Take it to another shop to inspect the job on control arms I suppose.

Whoever fixed your car in the first place should have done an alignment after putting new suspension parts on.

the thing is that i just bought the car.. everything seemed fine and drives fine.. something i over looked or didnt catch

i took the wheel off and inspected everything.. everything new with oem parts.. my only guess is that the subframe is shifted to one side alittle during crash

Well what you should do now is get it aligned, and see if it will adjust into spec. If it doesnt then u gotta start replacing stuff.

any alignment print out? The print out would tell you rather you will need more parts or not.

i can tell by looking at the exhaust that your points of reference aren't the same from pic to pic. i'm not saying one side doesn't stick out further than the other, but the angles in the 2 pics could be enough to make an equal distance look unequal.

Bring it to another shop that will do it then. Unless you see something very obvious is bent, you gotta start with the alignment.
