Would be a good idea to double, triple check some measurements of the body before buying a new subframe, in case anything else deflected. Long story short, you may run into extra work trying to align everything if theres even the slightest deflection. Long story, still long: When pulling my engine I noticed the car had been in an accident, front drivers side (wrinkled frame tube, right above the sway bar mount). The tension rod mount and impact absorber seemed to be the only things bent, so I thought it would be an easy swap. Bought all the parts, and none of the bolt holes lined up. I ended up having to mill slots in the tension rod mount and aluminum impact bar to be able to align everything, hammer out my lower crossmember, and space the impact absorber with shims to angle it properly to get near fitting. Not happy about it either. Not fun.
