Frame rail bent ?
Whats up guys, Ive had my 86 GXL for over a month now, and ever since I got it, Its had a sag on the driver side rear, Only really noticeable from the back, but its pretty bad. I figured it had a bad shock, so today, went and tossed some shocks that are all good on it, hoping it would fix the sag, and come to find out, it didnt. After jacking the car up stupid high and getting under it, I find that the Drivers side Frame Rail is Pushed upwards at a pretty bad angle. I forgot to snap pics in the daytime, but heres a few of it, sorry for the bad angle.
The new shocks made a world of diffference, but its still in desperate need of an alignment. Before the shocks it didnt want to get sideways at all when turning to the right, but did just fine turning left. It now does alot better when turning right, but its still stubborn. Is there any chance of getting some place to fix this, and if so, will it cost a fortune? Or is the chassis pretty much screwed? the car drives straight and everything, but the sag hurts my eyes. Will a shop have any issues aligning it in its current state?
