My enclave was in an accident. I bought an 09 enclave with blown motor for parts. Everything fit my 10. But now I have to swap the frame. I called the dealership to see if the frames were interchangeable. They said NO!! But couldn’t tell me why or the difference in them.
can anyone tell me if they have changed the frame….

Hmmm, im not awarevof a change in the 09 to 10.
Try posting in the traverse and acadia forum... same vehicles.

You’ve already purchased the parts vehicle, and you will most certainly need to pull both subframes so remove them both lay them out next to each other and compare. Sometimes different year parts have a suffix added to the part number but are essentially the same part or they have an extra bolt hole added or eliminated for something else that changed that is attached to the subframe.

I'm looking at the frame here- 2010 Buick Enclave Chassis Frames & Body Parts — CARiD.com
What part of it do you have to replace (I can't imagine replacing the whole thing)?
