That sucks but replaceable and not as expensive as body damage.

[Danhaggis]

the subframe got bent a quarter inch, but i was able to get it out with an alignment.

[Chilled Man]

They can run just fine with a (mildly) tweaked subframe.<br>As long as he can (and he said he did) get his alignment back to spec, it's not a really big deal

[chris@swedespeed]

glad you dodged a bullet, looks like it could have been much worse.<p>are you running a dedicated snow tire up there?<p>

[Danhaggis]

no snow tires, but i am thinking i should get some

[Taleof2Bricks2]

<br>...and we get 'all bent out of shape' when it starts to rain a little out here in Surf City! <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/zeroforum_graphics/screwy.gif" BORDER="0"> <p>Glad it wasn't worse!

[Danhaggis]

yeah i wish rain was the worst of my worries, snow sucks, but when spring comes it is all so much sweeter.<p>

snow+slush+ice- snow tires + ABS = bend subframe and tie rod.<p>I keep getting flack about running 4 snows.....without them you simply cannot turn or stop, even at very low speeds. <br>VERY lucky near miss with the pole.
