Default 98 Esteem Subframe damage

Hey guys recently my subframe got damaged as well as my alligment is completly off because i was slightly hit from the left side which caused me to spin to the right and hit the curb. My right front wheel took most of the impact as my car landed on the curb, and i was wondering how long can i drive with a damaged subframe before replacing it due to low funds that i have. My front right wheel is slightly bent inwards and makes this holo sound everytime i make a right, as well as there is a ratteling noise i hear sometimes as im speeding up. I was also wondering if anyone has a subframe that they could sell to me
thanks!

Driving it won't do anything except wear out tires, if you have a good enough eye you can adjust the toe back pretty close, you should know which way is got knocked by the impact, so compensate for it, it may be close enough to drive for a while.
Or if you can find someone to put it on a rack and try to align it, but most shops won't touch it due to the liability.


Try car parts.com they sell used car parts all over the US

MysticX is an unknown quantity at this point

With frame damage I would just take the insurance and start looking for another car, but that is just my opinion.
