front end shifted? more details what are you talking about?

viperlocc · June 30th, 2009, 08:44 PM

if the front end "shifted" as you say without any accidents, then your car shouldnt even be repaired.

yeah what the hell do you mean it shifted?

1FastFox · July 1st, 2009, 08:46 AM

Front end as in the nose of the car or front end as in the rack and suspension? Definitally need some more details.

Did you wreck it? What kind of accident was it in?

Looks like the whole front end moved back and towards the passenger side. That should straighten out pretty good though.

it was wet out the other day an i was going in to 3rd an wen i got on the gas the car got side ways.i freaked an held the clutch in an hit the brake.did a 360 an the driver side front turn signal marker hit the corner of a tree.i made the 1st mistake. when a car starts to slide u never ever get on the brake.but the guy at the body shop said 6hrs of frame work an it'll be like new.so i'm getting that done.

Its very repairable. It will need to go to a frame shop to straighten the chassis out before you do anything else.
