Re: frame work

Sounds like the unibody subframe. Our car don't have the separate steel frame like trucks do. Just the separate steel front crossmember. Our "frames" are a series of layers of stamped sheet metal.

Re: frame work

Not if it is straightened good. If it isn't aligned RIGHT, then getting an alignment good, or the body parts to line up, you'll have problems.

Re: frame work

If you can get a pic, that would help to know how big & where exactly it is.
