Core Support

Would bending his frame back into place be an issue with traction? His front tires are pretty bald

**gtpeddie** · 03-26-2012

depends on how you do it on a frame rack it will give it a pull. the car has frontal collision so when it was hit impact traveled through the vehicle, you want to reverse that impact to get the car to pre-accident condition. Thats why a frame rack is the best option because you have claps to hold the car in place while it pulls. Instead of pulling in a certain area there may be other spots on the car that are bent but cant be seen. After your repairs you will want to get the car realigned any way to aviod caster, camber and eccesive toe, resulting in traction problems and tire wear.

any high end body/collision shop you can just ask them to straighten your frame and you can do the rest

not really to sure to be honest i only have ever worked with them idk the cost range but id say its worth it because you will want your body to be straight to avoid many other problems

Ya absolutely will that take care of the radiator support or just the frame

your rad support doesn't look to bad i think that they will be able to straighten it out on a frame rack no problem, ask around and get some different estimates from shops.

Give SRC Auto Body a call. Also check w/ White Auto Body since they're out in St. Charles area. One of them may have a rack

**boothe** · 03-26-2012

Just call I70 auto body there in wentzville they have one said anywhere from 54 to 115 bucks depending on what they need to do
