pulling a frame

[geoman]

Anyone here had to do this on their car? I just bought this 93z and I knew the rear corner had been bumped some. Well now that i can get way up under the car and see, Ifound the pass. side frame rail has some bends in it. Seems to be the last 10-12" and looks straight near the axle. I am going to take some pics. Has anyone replaced a rail or sections of a rail before? What does it cost to put a car on the machine now?

I am worried this car wont drive straight or I will have a lot of problems with the suspension down the road.

Thanks,
Mike

It's really not hard. You need to get all the dimension and specs before putting it on the frame machine, though. I bought my car off a friend that owned a salvage yard and he has a frame puller. He helped alot because I had never done anything like that before, but there's really not alot to it. Not sure how much it costs to put a car on one. Go to a few body shops and get quotes. I'm sure if you're paying for the car to be on there, they'll do all the work.

Never replaced any frame rails or anything like that, so I'm not help there.

You get the car back into the factory dimensions and it should be fine. That's all I did. I haven't had any problems with mine after pulling and aligning the car, etc. Someone hit a pole in the PF pretty hard. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Thank you Tyler...makes me feel better.....I believe it can be fixed. No damage other than a tail light that needs to be replaced.....I need to pull a carfax on it also.
