Spokane2017 is on a distinguished road
2012 E70 Bent Subframe

This car never ceases to amaze me...
About a month ago we either hit something in the road or hit a pot hole. The car gained a clunk and when the A/C came on, there was a horrible grinding noise. I figured a bad strut and A/C compressor went. 85k miles.

Took the car to the local Indy shop and they called and said I need to open an insurance claim for body damage. The sub-frame is bent and has pushed the front sway bar up against the A/C pulley. It it also folding the turbo duct.

He sourced a good front sub-frame locally and will replace that to see if it fixes my issue. Will also check alignment and may need a frame shop check.

Good grief. No airbag set-off, no other damage. Can't take a big bump? When can you actually enjoy this thing and not be nickel and dimed to death fixing all of it's issues....
