front subframe repair...
Anyone have any ideas on how I can repair my car in my garage? The car encountered a low ditch that jumped out in front of it,
and the impact of the car landing caused the front right corner to "come up" 1 - 1 1/2". The car still drives fine and straight but the front corner feels lower. (it is) The bend is similar to you folding a corner of a page (dog-eared). The bend is in the center, front to the area right in front of the door. There is a slight crease / bend in the panel behind the fender. Am I screwed or can it be fixed? The bend is enough for the door to catch on the fender when opening, though the door still opens fully. The windshield is fine. I think that if I didn't install the strut tower brace a few days prior, the damage would have been worse.
