[QUOTE="DSGx, post: 891595, member: 15545"] The car already has bad alignment so thats not a problem for me, it also had really bad negative camber wich i fixed with adjusters and the strut plates , u can see that one the wheel that the crash is in u can see the angle of the strut is less than that of the good side so i got different Caster on the bad side , by doing what im saying i will bring the caster back or close enought to spec to have both wheels in the center. Right now im not think of buying or selling the car so ill just fix it how i can, i took it to a bodyshop to get the frame look at and the guy said that its not worth it cuz the car is just too old and it would just cost me as much to buy another car. Im going to take some pics from the front to back of both sides so u can see how the front wheels are sitting. I still need to take this car for an alignment so for now the camber is better but not done, i just eyeballed the adjustment until i saw that the tires were standing straight, hey its much better than it used to be, that thing has more negative camber than a racecar. So let me ask you this, what is required for those people to fix my frame, is the entire drivetrain with kmember and all has to be pulled out of the chassi, just thinking about the labor it would take for that it sounds like it would cost a lot, im going to try and do my thing, if it does not work out then ill leave it like that and just put some nicer wheels on the car , lower it a bit and drive it till i get bored of it.
