Sub Frame Issue
I have 2017 86 that was t boned. I've noticed that driving it on the road its very wiggly in the rear now. When I bought this car the tires are pretty worn but I doubt thats the case. Looking under the car I was told the sub frame is slightly bent. Should I replace it or attempt to repair it?

What part is bent? Have you had it aligned? Did the body shop use a frame straightener on it?

I haven't had it aligned but it was recommended from my father, who is a mechanic, that it should be replaced. Here's some pics from the exterior.

Yeah, buy a car that's in a t bone crash and never got it aligned or checked the frame?
You got more issues that needs being looked at. And your car needs some as well.

The tires were probably badly worn because it needs an alignment
