    Yes, subframe. I see them on MORADS for sale all the time. What happened, did the mount brackets rip off with the control arm?

    I can still drive the car. The control arm is definitely bent. The subframe is bent and cracked.

    I know everyone always runs to and recommends Morad in the GP community, but honestly, I've found him to be grotesquely overpriced on everything he sells (2 - 3x higher than a typical junkyard charges for same parts). Your best bet is to find someone selling one on the many different w-body related message boards, or find one at a local junkyard.
