why are the front fender flanges allways bent in is it the jack at the shop
I've started to notice that the right fender flange under the car is being bent in I've know about the driver side because sometimes its so bent it affects the alginment of the fender.
what's causing this ?
I'm starting to think improper lifting of the car at the shop. or could it be speed bumps?
Thanks

The best way I have found is to unbolt the fender and then bend the metal tab back into place. Also be sure to heat the fender, this will soften the tab and keep it from breaking when you bend it back into place, if its not allready broken.

whatever you do, don't pound on it!
i was showing my dad the fender bent out and explaining about the lifting, he said "i'll fix it", and proceded to pound on it with a rubber mallet. about the second hit he broke half the tab off, luckly it went back into place, but its only hanging on by 1 bolt
oh, by the way, bad a$$ car jerimiah
been thinking of pro charting mine as well.
