XC90 Bent front subframe.
Sadly my parked xc90 was hit by a merc driver. My car didn't look too bad scrape on front bumper front wing and door. His car was wedged on my side step ,when he tried to reverse back his bumper was ripped off my side step was scuffed with his paint, his wishbone snapped, engine moved and fluid inc brake fluid bonnet hinges were pushed up at least 60 mm above wing's and scuttle. when he tried to drive side of road there was an almighty twang i assume coil spring and his subframe loose. this is when i noticed my wheel pointing out and o/s straight. i sent it to my local garage who found my subframe bent and the bolt's bent on that side and track rod end bent. I have sent pictures as his insurers requested. They took details of damage over the phone and said it's borderline write off and will let me know soon. They said if a write off i can have a pay out or a lower offer and car back. Apart from his damage the car was immaculate full documented service history. My question is would it be sensible to have it back and replace subframe or could it be a can of worm's. your advice would be appreciated.

On positive side, you can give engine gearbox and front suspension a good check over as it will be removed with the sub frame.
But note if you do get it fixed unfortunately I believe it will become cat s. Not really an issue if you keep her. In your position I would get the repair done. John l |

What he said, sub frame is a doddle. Get an engine support beam from eBay - sits in inner wings and has chains for the engine. Pop off the bottom ball joints, ARB links, engine mounts, a few pipe clips and it just drops out, hardest part is steer ing rack mounts and steering column bolt. I cant remember if you need to remove one of the power steering pipes or not.
