I have a 2000 V70 and I hit a curb avoiding a truck running a red light and now my passenger side wheel sit about 2-3 inches back from its original position. I removed the wheel to find that the part of the sub frame that the control arm connects to bent/crumpled a bit. I found someone that is parting out a 98 v70 manual and am inquiring about getting that sub frame piece but I don't know if it's compatible or if its even a piece that can be removed. I have pics but for some reason I cant upload them... I'm new and looking for some help. Thanks

 

Here are the pictures I have

 

WELL, I'm sure that you already know that you have a major chunk missing from your wheel as well.

If it were me, I would go to a body shop and get an estimate on the cost to fix the frame. A good body shop should be able to do a good job in fixing a frame for about $300 - $500. That would include an alignment.

Then you will need a wheel and have the tire remounted.

As for the sub-frame, you can replace that part but it is kinda big and supports the motor & transmission. It's a big square and has a few mounts between it and the car frame. If you go to iPd's website and look up frame mounts you will see a diagram of the frame. Yes the '98 model should fit fine.

 

Yeah I found a replacement wheel on rockauto shipped for less than $150. As far as iPd what website is it?

Also not sure if you can see from the image of the wheel but its a bit cambered/tilted out from the impact. Instead of this "l" "/" that. Is that the control arm that's causing t that to happen?

 

If you have full coverage, report the accident and call your insurance to fix it. They will likely total that car out and hand you a check for $2,500.

Can't really see all of that in the pic but it doesn't matter, any body shop that takes on the work will make it right.

 

I wrecked my 960 once and tore my wheel smooth off. The Volvo indi shop fixed it for $500 and it drove straighter than before the accident.

I hit a fully inflates truch tire on the highway and drove about 150 yards on 2 wheels.
