Hello baught an arosa a few weeks ago light front end damage and had all repairs done, went to get the tracking done the other day and turns out the front subframe is bent causing the front passenger wheel to sit just over an inch further backwards than normal:(

I've got a spare subframe off a mk1, not that difficult to replace either, you just need a fair amount of space to work under the car

i think you are right but can't confirm perhaps someone else on the forum might be able to. are you sure its the subframe that's bent and not the wishbone, the subframe is a fairly sturdy bit of metalwork!
