Front End....crossmember question....

Ok After rought adjusting the front left wheel so that it is foward as mush as possable i am still off by 1/4" to 1/2" (to much to the rear) Now I looked at the crossmember and it has shifted foward on the passenger side and rearward on the driver side...now can i just loosen the bolts and pull it stright again? And yet again does anyone know a good chassis shop in NJ that i can take this to so they can look at it? Photos are on the way.

Are you refering to the engine cradle or tranmission crossmember? If the engine cradle is off the it needs to be pulled on a frame machine. I'm also guessing your alighnment is off.

Yes, I would try to loosen the bolts and shift it back. Look at the bolts and see if there are any marks where the bolts used to line up. If there are no marks then the unitized body structure has been bent. It should run you around 150 to 350 to get it pulled. Reasonably around $200. I would try shifting the cradle back to the original spot before going for frame work.
