Default A-frame?

I am thinking of buying a '94 w/ a V8 not sure what size V8. He ran into a curb and it needs an A-frame. I'm not a mechanic, would this be a hard and timely fix? Please tell me if it is worth it. Also the price is about $1,900

have you looked at it? what shape is the inside like, how about the outside. does it run? how good? i think your talking about the front control arms. you could call around the local wrecking yards and see if you can find what you need. new ones are 200 to 250 bucks each, could get some like this, not to hard to change if you have the tools.

A-Frame? I don't know what that is on a Camaro? There are A arms, which is what craby is talking about. On older full frame cars the A frame was the main frame brace the motor set in and right where the A arms connected in. No Camaro has a A-frame. Older Camaros had sub frames 4th gens have K-members some people call sub frames. If the K member is bent there could be a lot of other damage. Also the K member houses the whole suspension and the motor. There will be a lot a labor replacing it.
