Hello I recently hit a curb (stupid I know) I replaced knuckle..The spindle.. and was about to put a new lower control arm when I noticed My sub frame is bent a bit at the part which connects to the RIGHT CENTER MOUNT. My buddy with a shop said he might be able to bend it back to the right oppostion, but did say bending alumium is extremly difficult and there could be chance of it cracking. Not sure what I should do at this point.

I ordered a new RIGHT CENTER MOUNT and will put that in too see how far the sub frame is actually bent.

Hopefully somebody knows something about bending aluminum. I did some reasearch but can't find anyting to do with bending back alumium frames ( SINCE 95% cars don't use alumium for their frames)

PLEASE HELP

Aluminum subframes can be worked, straightened and welded as long as the shop goes by the manual for the specific type of aluminum.
You can always secure an used frame, but a lot of work eiher way.
