| I would get ahold of the unibody/frame measurement specifications, and take measurements between the key points shown. This is what a body shop would do. if your car took a very hard hit, hard enough to crack or split steel, it is likely it got tweaked or bent slightly out of shape — somewhere. It’s been awhile since I did this to one of my cars, but crafty work with a bottle jack and some lumber can often push things back into spec. Once done, a whole lot of other things become easier, like bumper mounts lining up, proper wheel alignment, panel fitment, and so on. I can’t recall where I’ve seen these data sheets recently. eBay?

Yesterday i notice two little cracks in the inner fenderwell metal down below the upper shock end. Also a slight bulging of the metal when compared to drivers side. I got up under the fender and sure enough the two cracks are near the upper control arms pivot point. The spots are behind the u-channel shaped piece that the UCA pivot bolts pass thru and higher up the shock strut passes thru. My guess is that the car took a hit and this was the result. I looked it all over and cant see any bending of the frame rail or anything in the suspension but something has definitely happened. Any thoughts on what I could or should do??-- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
