Sorry, not to confuse anybody...but that was me under wambamcivic's name. I was on a friend's computer and didn't realize I was signed on under his name. Anyways, the best way to check out your crossmember is to measure in Diagnals from corner to corner on the Subframe. That's probably the best way you can see how much is damaged. Look for where there might be stress cracks or anything of that sort. Look for little buckles in the metal to see if something was squeezed. Hope that helps you.
