[QUOTE="94RedGt, post: 908323, member: 16001"] Hey guys I got a bent strut tower on my 94, its the driver side one, car was hit on that side and it appears that the chassis rail got pushed back by 1/2 an inch so the drivers side wheel is exactly 1/2 inch back when u look at it and compare it to the not damaged side, it appears that the impact also pushed the driver side strut tower inwards , i have compared it to other sn95s and yeah mine is pushed in, on a normal non damaged sn95 theres about an inch of space between the brake fluid bottle and the towers wall, on mine theres beraly any space to push a single finger between it, this is what is causing my horrible negative camber on my driver side wheel, can this be fixed by a bodyshop with a frame machine ? I wanna get the frame pulled back and the tower also so my panels also aling , the tower took the whole edge were the fender mounts inwards so i had to move the way my hood fitted and it looks a bit crooked when u look at it, if i put it back to stock then it rubs on the passanger side fender cuz the mounting possition is pushed that way. Will a bodyshop be able to pull this back to spec? the car looks like it leans on that side so my frame prolly moved up also making my kmember change angle, i already checked control arms and nothing is bent so it is the frame . I asked a local bodyshop owner and he said the whole pulling job will cost me around $350 bucks if its only pulling things back to spec and not cutting or welding new panels cuz then that would be too much or me, if i had a garage and spare time i would just buy a roller sn95 5.0 and just swap the entire drivetrain cuz mine runs perfect, atleast the car its driveable and it does not pull to any side , but u feel how the suspension on the bad side acts weird over bumps and when turning on that side, need to get her back in shape cuz i really want to keep this mustang and everytime i look at that out of place front wheel i just feel bad lol, i envy the guys in my club cuz all their cars look straight and mine is banged up :< .
