    E30 Front Subframe Options

    Hey all,

    So after getting an alignment and noticing my drivers caster is off, long story short I found my subframe pushed back almost 1/4” resulting in 1* of caster difference between right and left.
    So my question is, can the front subframe be loosened and moved like in Audi’s? I just want to move the passenger side where it should be so it is even and the caster is closer.
    I know there is a dowel, but is there some level of adjustability?

    The subframe indexes to the frame rail via dowel sleeves. It can't be adjusted. Something, possibly the frame, has been bent.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      just wondering how did you figure that it's pushed back? Any signs of the accident ?

      Look for something like in these pics....1/4 off would definitely leave a mark..Pictures are curtesy of Scoobiedoo2029
