twisted frame?


anyone have some pictures of their motor bay? My motor seems to be tilting pretty bad towards the passenger side. Mounts aren't too bad so I dont think thats the issue. Doesn't seem to be any body panels that dont line up. and no dents, ripples, etc in the roof. But other than mounts I cant that of what would cause the motor to tilt so bad other than a twisted frame

How does the floor look behind the front seats? Any creases or tears in the floor pan? Should be very noticeable from underneath the car in the area on the floor where your feet would be if you were sitting in the back seat.

if it were the car that was twisted enough to notice your motor was tilted there would be alot of ish jacked up on the body. i gaurentee its your motor mounts. get a set of energy poly mounts... great investment. i have ripped stock mounts in a week.
