Will something be misaligned? (Caught the subframe)

Recommended Posts

I've just been on the back roads, and hit a large dip in the road.

 

Looking under the car, first thing i noticed was that where the main wishbone bolt goes through, the surrounding metal of the subframe (bottom which hit floor) around where the bolt goes through is battered/bent. Wishbone dosn't have any marks at all.

 

Also noticed that the gearbox bellhousing has a large flat on the bottom, so im lucky i didn't catch the sump.

 

Will anything be misaligned regards the bent subframe? The damage is localised to the bottom/surrounding metal.

 

Neil.

I served to avoid a dog a few years ago in my Racing Puma and hit the kerb, it still drove but didn't feel "right" - ended up needing over £3k of subframe / suspension work, at first glance underneath it did not appear to be anything major

Something has to give in those sort of circumstances (road or your Corrado). Photo may help to see how bad.
