hey guys. so i recently purchased MM full length subframe connectors. i set the pass. side connector on the pass.
frame rail, and everything lined up, the front sub. with the rear sub.. it was all good. then i took the drivers side sub
and put it up to the drivers side sub. and the front rail was dead on.. but the rear subframe was about 1 inch to the left
of where it was supposed to be. my roomate decided to drop my digital camera from our deck, so pics are out.. but its
roughly like this:

I noticed quite a bit of rust, almost all on the drivers side (messed up one) and the metal pad underneath the lower CA
is crushed in about 1/2 inch where as the pass. side is level.. and these are 94-04 coupe subframe connectors on my
95 gt coupe. any suggestions??

sounds like it has been wrecked?

well i ran a carfax for my car (have owned it since sept. 2005) and there are no other reported accidents
other than my minor bumper bump 2 years ago. But i was suspecting that it was hit (t-boned) on the drivers side, and
not reporting an accident involving frame damage seems like it would cost a ton just to repair the outside body panels.
this is insanely frustrating.. here i am trying to put on $115 subframe connectors, and the money amount keeps potentially
climbing..... :nonono:

Yep, that or a sorely misplaced floor jack or lift arm.Especially if there was already rust damage on that side to weaken it to start with.
