I've posted a few times about suspension issues, finally got it torn down and found this disaster
Drivers side

Passenger side

How hard would it be to replace the front cross member without pulling the motor(hold it up with a hoist), or I'm thinking to just try n bash it back into place until winter when I actually pull my motor.

Changing front crossmember isn't that hard. As said before. Get a hoist. The hardest part is the steering rack but once you take off the rack clamps your set.

Awesome, yeah I went n smashed it with a hammer and it wouldn't budge so looks like I'll be getting a new one. On a side note my frame rails are fuckered and the pinch welds are trashed, any other place I can put jack stands since they are currently on the cross member? On a plus side I have no power steering, might make this easier lol
