I hit a curb awhile ago really bad. broke my control arm and everything. I got a new control arm and alignment and it still pulls to the right pretty bad. I got it up on jackstands and I noticed the frame has a kink in it. Any idea how much money this might cost to fix? thanks

not cheap but it depends where in the frame the kink is...take it to a body shop

Might end up being pretty cheap- like 100 bucks or so....
Depends if it can be pulled easily on a hydraulic rack- or with a chain come-a-long.

You can always hook a chain around the bent area, wrap the other end around a telephone pole or something, and hit the gas! I've done it on a few cars (Jeeps, 323....tempo) It worked every time!

I had a bent chassis repaired on an '88 RX-7 turbo. I also had the front subframe replaced since it was bent too.

The guy i bought the car off must have done exactly what you did - hit a kerb at high velocity.

Cost about NZ$400 (~$US180) for the bending, and an all-up cost of about $NZ1100 including the new subframe + labour.

On paper, it seemed like it was within limits, but i never fully trusted the car after that. I sold it to a guy who wanted to pull the engine out and bought another S4.
