Hello im new to this forum. Ive searched amd searched so here goes....ive got 05 wdp 5at and i hit a curb hard the other night. Busted a tire and scraped front passenger rim up but eveything seems ok. I checked all the suspension and evetrhing seems ok there. Checked axles control arm shocks etc. Eveything seems fine. ive been having a loud pop noise when turning wheel all the way at low speeds. I had it before the curb but its way worse now. only thing i can find thats broke is this weird looking mount/bushing thing pictured. Ive searched and searched for days but i cant find anything on it. Does anybody know what this is for and could it be whats causing the pop noise. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reply. Do you think this could cause popping noise? And do you know if it is hard to replace it looks simple but im wondering if i have to jack up subframe or something.

super easy to replace. 1 bolt facing up and 2 side bolts, you can actually see all 3 bolts in your pics. Shouldnt take you more than 30 minutes.

Yes seems easy enough i am about to replace it just got the part in. Thanks for replies hopefully this will take care of the popping noise.

So i replaced it and it was really easy. Got it all back together and lowered the car back down look under to check on it and the new one is broke just like the ld one was. Now im frustrated...any ideas? Obviously something is causing this but i have no clue what it could be. I didnt even drive the car yet. I bought this tl about 5 months ago and its been nothing but problems since day one. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey my guy! So your subframe is bent. You must of bent the subframe when you hit the tire on the curb.
Question? How fast were you going? Also what is head on or Side swiped?
I only ask because with the issue you're experienceing, those details will tell you for sure, if you bent the subframe or not.
​​​You will need to straighten out the sub.. or get a new one.
Tough deal, sorry brotha.
