There are two types of frames commonly used, the ladder frame or full length frame and
the subframe. Both frames are isolated from the body using rubber isolators. The
subframe does not run the full length of the vehicle. The subframe supports the engine and
transaxle. The subframe provides the mounting point for the front suspension lower control
arms. Any misalignment of the subframe (accident damage, improperly performed heavy
engine work where the subframe is loosened, lowered and/or removed, etc.) causes a
misalignment of the front wheels. Movement of the subframe usually causes an increase in
caster on one side of the vehicle and decrease in caster on the other side. This can cause
the exhaust system to bind up, problems with control cables and unacceptable noise.
Check the frame/subframe for any obvious damage, especially on a used vehicle with an
unknown history.
Setback
Subframe setback
Setback applies to both the front and the rear wheels. Setback is the amount that one
wheel spindle may be aligned behind the other wheel spindle. Setback may be the result
of a road hazard (heavily hit pothole, for example) or a collision. The first clue is a caster
difference from side-to-side of more than one degree.
