05 Scion xB Radiator Support Fix?
Hi. I have an 05 Scion xB that was in a head on collision 2 weeks ago. The car was totaled since the damage estimate was $3,300.00.
Insurance gave me $4,000 & I bought it back for $400 to try and fix it myself.
Since aftermarket parts are fairly cheap I figured I'd give it a try. The only frame damage that I can see is to the LT upper radiator support.
Is it possible to try and straighten the bracket or does it need to be replaced? Would this be a costly fix?
Thank you for any replies or suggestions.

Being Totaled and with Front End damage, I Would Not advise to try and straighten out the 5316-52031 Upper Tie bar because it has been Structurally Weakened.
I would Suggest you either replace it with a New OEM part or try and find a Undamaged Used Part.
