ohhhh... that was the first time i ever saw it up close in a pic. thanks wingless. here's another question though. i bought my car after it was in an accident and the alignment is off on my left rear tire. i noticed a lateral arm (or maybe its called the left rear trailing arm) bent so i replaced it. its the 2 bars horizontal to the left rear tire. the bar that was bent was the one closest to the exhaust.

anyway, hopefully someone can help me with might be wrong. i replaced it and then get a wheel alignment again and its still way off. it was barely even an improvement. i guess ill post up wat the alignment paper readings were. anyone understand these numbers?

LEFT REAR
Actual**Before****Specified Range
.53******.57******-2.17***-.67 ======> Camber
-.61*****-.40******-.13****.13 ======> Toe


REAR
************Actual***Before****Specified Range
Total Toe*****.11******.31******-.25***.25
Thrust Angle**-.67*****-.55******-.33***.33

My right rear is in order but the numbers i posted is pretty off. The guys at firestone said to bring it to a mechanic and they would understand whats wrong by looking at the sheet and the car but that was no help. Sorry to keep bothering everyone bout this but id feel a lot better knowing my car was 100% safe.

 

If Firestone was unable to align your car within factory specs, you might have to bring your car to a shop that specializes in frame alignment. Some body shops can do this, as they are equipped to make repairs to cars that have been involved in collisions, of course.

One of these frame alignment specialists can check the chassis for mis-alignment and advise you on the corrective course of action they would need to take.
