Well I just noticed my drivers side front fender is sticking out a little bit under where the 2 side vents are and above the side skirt....here are a few pics....how can I fix this??





here is a pic underneath...is this whats causing it?? looks like some jackhole tried to jack it up here....i think they did it when I had new tires put on....



What do you guys think?? Can this be fixed?? if so how much??

if you gently tap the jacking point back toward the inside of the car, your fender will follow it in. try to unbolt as much as you can (if you can) and bend one thing back into place at a time then bolt it back up.

mine was worse than yours and i'm 95% lined back up now...although i did only spend about 2 minutes per side on it, but i'm not that big of an appearance freak because my car is in dire need of a paintjob. i'll fix all the little appearance flaws when i get it painted.

Those are some bald tires you have there. But yeah just try to gently bend the tab back in place. It may be broke. Mine has a nice crack in it I might try to superglue.

Yeah thats from someone putting it on the lift wrong. Your gonna have to beat the pinchweld back in because its ben pushed out. I had this happen on a cadillac deville that some jackass at the dealership put on the lift wrong.

that happened to both by fenders on my ss, unbolt, rebolt, then hammer with a cloth over it, gently of course

Thats what happens when morons dont know how to lift the car. I bought both my LS1 cars with the fenders sticking out. The best thing I found to work is grabing the bent up tab with a pair of vice grips and straightening it that way. It took me all of 2 minutes to do both sides.

Thats the problem. Its not a jacking point, but many shops mistake it for one and use it, which causes it to bend and push out the fender.

i had the same problem, like a nickle size gap between the door and fender on mine too, turns out the moron before me must have jacked it up and he completely flattened that pictured part, so i just struggled and bent it back to normal and it looks good.

What everyone else said I'm the lucky one I guess. Someone jacked my car up using those and bent them flush to the floorboards BUT my fenders didnt budge at all. I just left mine bent for fear of messing something up trying to fix it.

Had same thing happen getting two tires changed, both fenders stuck out 1/2-3/4 inch each side. To add insult to injury, it took them 3 damn hours to change out the 2 tires. I about freaked out; I made the manager pay for the SS to go to a body shop. Body shop took a 2x4 and a heavy hammer (on lop weld), but it cost the car shop $40 and my business. Damn manager never once apologized.

it's unfortunate because if you point out to a shop not to jack there, they act like you're being an *******. but if you don't... big risk.
