Bent front frame

[redwreck]

I recently stuffed the front right suspension on my '13 Screw then proceeded to force it over an object at the same time. When the guy at the alignment shop told me he couldn't get it into alignment I figured it was the knuckle that bent or maybe the UCA. So I bought both put one on then the other neither fixed it not even a little. Then we found the missing paint on the frame where it bent. So on Monday we are going to put it on the frame bench and see if we can pull it back into where is supposed to be. Just thought I would share this as a lesson learned. Prerunning is your friend!

This last pic is the other side I'm posting as a reference.

It's not cracked its the best pic i could get. It does looked cracked in the pic but its just bent a little.

I do agree with huck, looking at the picture with you pointing with a pick,to the right of the pick, it looks like it cracked right at the end of the weld

I would say there is a tiny crack where the paint is gone but I don't see anywhere else.

than thats just one ****** weld. it looked like it pulled away from the frame in the other photos.

Ouch, you gonna trust it after you pull it back into position?

We will see if they can get it pulled back into shape. Then I'll see about throwing a gusset on it.
