So my friend is really worried that he has a frame damage and i can't really answer his question...



So you guys decide

He also said that he tried hammering it to hell and did not succeed

Exactly what are we supposed to see? Everything looks like is should.

You won't do anything good with a hammer. Looks to me like you've bound just to create some damage.

I'm guessing he is stating the bent subframe support. He is just asking me if his frame is bent.

Uh.. I don't see anything wrong with your frame. Did he hit something? ..can you explain the situation a bit here?

Your frame is going to take some beating, mine has dents and grooves in it too, your car isn't going to snap in half anytime soon.

His car went into a ditch couple of months ago and he just noticed it.

I was thinking the same thing too, most of the 240s i see also have a bent subframe support.

Man, there is nothing wrong with anything in that picture. It's a little dinged up, but hardly worth mentioning on a car that old. I hit a curb at some insane speed before, now that caused some damage. That picture is NOTHING like that damage. You're good.

Hahahahahahah!

Its all good! You can use my pictures

Its not a sign of frame damage, but that the subframe bushing are worn, or driving the car hard.

If his are bent, then the subframe is definitely flexing, and he would benefit from our Subframe support brace.
