Well, I went in for an alignment yesterday and they said they couldn't do one because my frame was bent. That sucked, a lot! So now I'm in a predicament. Should I leave the car the way it is or get the frame fixed? Anyone know of any local frame shops that might be able to pull the frame and an estimate of how much they change? Thanks guys.

That really sucks. I might know of a place that can straightin a frame...but you never know if that can do it for the car. It might have to be trashed=/(the frame/shell)

Time to take it to "Pimp My Ride" lol. J/K. I can't really remember the shop but i know my friend rear ended my other friend and the front of his frame was bent. So he took it to some place in Industry. He said they did a very good job on his mr2. When i hit him up, i'll try to give you the info.

Alright cool. I don't think the frame is in too bad a shape. The only thing they had trouble aligning was the rear left. That might be the trouble spot.

dude im in the same predicament!! my car was in a prior accident before i got it from the old owner, so its obviously salvaged title, my frame is bent towards the left too, so my front wheels cant be aligned, and my crossmember is also cracked, for how long, i have no idea...but i decided to sell it, i havent posted it up for sale yet, cause im looking for a new 240sx, good luck to you however

how can u guys tell if youre frame is bent or not?

when i went to get my wheels aligned, they told me that it couldnt be done due to the frame being bent a certain way, and i asked them if they could show me, so they just lifted the car and showed me, and also my front bumper is like bent inwards to the left slightly, its hardly noticable unless looking for it, and im assuming my crossmember was cracked at the same time the frame was bent....I"m a little pissed too, cause i used to go to those side shops to get it aligned and they always said it was done, this was my first time going to pepboys to get my alignment set
