      Bent Frame?

      Can someone confirm for me that my frame is bent? I'm pretty sure that it is but not 100%.
      The passenger side radiator support doesn't match up with the frame and the rear spring on the driver side was heated up to make the car level as I found out.
      Can someone tell me ways to check this?

      Thanks, Jacob


      EDIT: The driver side and passenger side springs are reversed

      Based on that I'd say more then likely but spend some cash and get it put on a rack at a bodyshop they can tell you how bad it is

      You don't have to put it on a frame machine to see if it's bent, if you can get the center portion (rocker panels) true and level on jackstands,then do some careful measuring to the floor at different points on both side that will let you know if it is bent up or down. Then cross measuring will help you discern if it's bent in or out and on either side. If it is out of spec, it's not necessarily a death blow...depending on how much it is bent it can either be adjusted for or put on a machine and straightened.
