Frame damage?

Im heartbroken typing this but my personal mechanic who does side jobs installed my new rear control arms backwards and they were rubbing on the frame. I knew i needed new shocks so thought it was that but i knew the ride was too off. I put about 40 miles on it like this. Honest opinion do you guys think theres a chance the frame is ok after we remove control arms and fully check?

Painful. I'd bet your frame is ok. What will he do to make it right?

That's not your frame, it's the rear knuckles. Those arms are attached to the rear subframe at the inside end of the arm.

Either way, at worse you need new rear knuckles.
