    i was wondering what would be ghw best way to go about replacing parts in the rear end? My car has dog walked or crab walked since ive had it and at first i thought it was a bent subframe but ive read it could point to other components before it being the subframe. It may be just me but when i looked under there i thought the bar going into the subframe with the adjuster on the end was bent and instead of straight it was rounded( i think its the lateral links?) the rear tires lean to the right angled and that side is the bent lateral link and i was wondering if a bent lateral link woulf make the car dog walk? I know i have to replace tie rods and broken sway bar in the front and i know the alignment is off and didnt know if the combo of the bent link and front end parts needing replaced would cause this to happen. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    A bent rear trailing arm or lateral arms can make the tire/rim not straight.

    The rear "subframe" is just there for support and have the lateral arms bolt to it.

    I'd get under the car and see exactly what parts are bent and buy what you need.
