1G help! with alignment issues

[jerzeytib]

I have a big problem.

I recently got my car all new rotors, pads, and balljoints replaced. After having this done I went to get my wheel alignment. Only to my surprise the mechanic told me that my car couldn't be aligned. He stated that one of my rear and front wheels wasn't completly vertical. He then said that I would need to go to a body shop and have them alter my frame.

Hearing all that made me very upset because if it's my frame I'm just going to sell the car. Also, if this is any help the car was backed into by a plow, but the only damage is a smashed light and hood.

My question is could my problem be suspension or actual frame?

. Great one.

Oh, wait, you're not joking, are you?

Go back to the same shop. Ask the loser if he's ever heard of camber. After he finishes his BS story about some chick he knew in high school, say, "no, camber ... as in: the wheel isn't vertical."

Report back what he says.

Better yet, go to an alignment shop and make one trip out of it.

all you'll need is camber kits for the frt/rear, which make it adjustable, then they can correct it. but I might suggest going to a differant shop.
