i never said you were wrong that thread even says subframe bent not the unibody and most people couldnt tell you the difference. and these seem like crash avoidance movements at road speeds 30MPH+. he has told us he did it at 5MPH. so in this case i wouldnt be worried about it. and he has yet to post if he did the wheel balance/alignment to rule out wheels and tires first

Odds are that an impact strong enough to bend the control arm boxes and what not would trip srs.

Probably a bent rim. Maybe damaged tie rod end.

Depending on what the lower control arms are like on the Caddy's maybe bent that but I wouldn't think so.

Haven't taken it in for an alignment yet but I will. I replaced the shocks recently and noticed that the front passenger side lower control arm (big honkin' piece of aluminum) was rashed on the bottom, could not see any visible cracking or distortion.
