bent subframe?

awhile bakk i hit a curb and changed out my control arm but it was still pushed back alittle. the car is driveable but i think i bent the strut also. my ride rides rough as hell. the dealer told me that i had a bent subframe but i think they jux told me that to rob me of my money. i was wondering if i changed out my strut, would it be normal again? or would i have to go get my subframe bent bakk to normal. if so would anyone kno how much would it cost?



as u can see the wheel is still pushed back onli a little

The wheel doesn't sit perfectly centered to start with.

Go get an alignment, have them measure setback. That will tell you if you've caused some major damage.

If you didn't break your wheel, you wouldn't have bent your subframe.

my dealer said my subframe was bent also, but after they took it apart and looked closely they said it turned out to be a strut, wheel bearing, and control arm or something. I posted all the details about this a while back.

Total cost was $1100 I think.

I know an odyssey subframe is about $300 or thereabouts. Parts for cars that are still in production are often not overly expensive.
