Cracked my frame and bent my k member
I hit a concrete sewage pipe when turning around in some tall grass, was only going about 10 mph if that, it popped my tire , bent my cross member and cracked my frame , the crack Is on the back of my drivers side wheel well, my drivers wheel is pushed out from the bent k member so it's not straight like the passenger side, my car yanks hard to the left if I don't hold the wheel, do you think that frame crack is fixable, I have a 1988 rx7 turbo 2 with 72k miles

I would take the bent crossmember and any noticeably damaged components off and use a new (or undamaged) crossmember to judge how bad it is

you need a body shop to assess the damage and put the frame back into spec.

well, technically a frame shop who specializes in frame work. a bodyshop who may happen to do frame work probably will do half ass work.

do you think a cross member will straighten it so my wheel is straight? The control arms and tierods looked ok , think that crack will effect my ability to drive straight

The shop I took my car to did frame straightening as well as body work. They call themselves a collision shop.I assumed that is the norm.. Hence why I mentioned "body" shop. |
