@mk2well since the old subframe was completely bent from the years of abuse it appears the tracking was out by miles so I had to drive it ten miles with both front wheels scrubbing and squealing along luckily I had 4 new ones going on the next day, turns out the tracking was out by 5 on both sides so i guess that's not a thing to be proud about lol.
But I can only recommend that you fit new everything apart from suspension (unless you are) I am running camber bolts but I sense I may no longer need them 🤔.
Get a full subframe alignment if you can find a garage that has that.
But my next date with the lupo is to get the bonnet fixed and I need to pull the passenger side rear sill out since it was bashed in years ago in a kfc car park.
