    subframe alignment

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My rear subframe may have shifted after a minor accident and one of my rear toe is off my .5 degree. It is adjusted to the max and so i am suspecting the subframe may have shifted just a bit. If not, then i may have subframe damage.

    NGP is a not go. If anyone had good experience with a shop that has done subframe adjustment while doing a alignment please let me know. Would like it to be in the Washington, DC area if possible

    Really NPG will not do it? Seems weird. It would be pretty obvious if the car is on a lift to see if the rear subframe is shifted.

    They are a great shop and i fully trust them. I didn't see a frame puller, so maybe those are needed with an alignment machine to align a subframe? Subframe also looked good, didn't see any paint cracks from bends.

    So i think i may have found the problem which is what Benji's team said from the beginning. The spindle and/or the wheel bearing maybe damaged. There is a 5mm difference between the rear passenger and driver side measurement between the caliber and rotor. I was hit on the rear passenger side.
    Unfortunately, after the body work, lower control arm, tie rod and labor charges. Any more done to this car will total it. really hoping this is the solution since i will have to pay out of pocket for this repair.
