well, i work at a frame shop. did the new subframe
bolt right in ?? how are the hood gaps on the other
side of the car ?? im guessing that the car was hit on
the side and not the front ?? if the subframe bolted
right up and the car was not hit front the front
affecting the frame rail, and your gaps are good, you
dont have any frame damage. frame labor is about 40-50
bucks and hour here ( pittsburgh ) and youll have 2
hours rack set up, minimum of 2 hours to pull and 1-2
hours to measure, if the shop has a measuring system.
