Hey guys, I recently was involved in an accident and it turns out that my rear passenger side was hit. As a result, the tire is a bit tilted in like it has negative camber. I'm pretty sure something was bent. Now my question is...

Is it possible to swap a rear end from another 95 240sx and transplant it onto mine? Do you think alignment can solve the problem I have now? Can i just swap out some specific parts on just the passenger rear?

i think that upper control arm is bent. if you go to a junk yard you can get the whole rear susp and have lots of spares.

so wait..when you say the frame can be bent, does that mean its fixable by replacing the whole subframe aka rear end? Or if the frame is bent, then is there no hope?

Is the frame and subframe differnt parts?

If the subframe and frame are virtually the same thing, then I'll probably end up swapping the whole subframe, or rear end.

thanks for the responses

subframe may be bent but i think he is refering to the cars unibody structure. it can only be fixed by putting on a frame rack at a body shop.
