Rear Subframe bent
Help suggestions?
Here's the story I installed a new dual exhaust system on my Z yesterday. Problem is the previous owner bent the rear subframe.........must of jacked up the car from behind. So now one tail pipe is lower and I see that I am going to have future rattles. Where can I find a new or used rear subframe (not dealership prices) or is there another way I can go about this?
Thanks

The only way to bend a sub frame is to wreck the car sideways where the impact was enough to bend all the suspension. The subframe is engineered to be stronger than the body of the car. Also, if it was bent, your car would not drive straight and your rear wheels would not camber/toe the same.
It might be your exhaust itself is not straight.

Bending the subframe takes a pretty substantial impact....I'd douuble check the exhaust fitment...In the slight chance that it is bent you could strip it and have it pulled - thats alot of work though...
Can you post up some pics of the area in which you believe has the damage?
If the car has side airbags they would of deployed if the car was in a side wreck even if it was only a curb. I know of several people that have gotten sideways and curb checked the rear wheel in doing so set off the airbag from that side.
