Default What is wrong with my car?

See how my hood lines up.

You can't tell from the pic but my right front sits about and inch lower then the rest of the car.

The other 3 corners have orange shocks and on this corner it has a black one.
The front end is out of alignment too.
Any ideas?

there are some black rubber things that screw up and down. 2 in the front and 2 on the sides. simply adjust the ones where the hood is saggin up and that should fix it

Heres my idea, The previous owner smashed the car on the right front pretty good. Whoever fixed it was cheap as hell and didnt do the right thing by purchasing an OEM shock, Aligning the hood, and also a front end alignment.

Heres how ya re-align the hood....
1. Adjust the little rubber things located on the core support.
2. Loosen the bolts on the back of the hood that attach to the hinges and move them till they are right.
3. Adjust the bolts where the hood latch is attached on to the core support.

Any or all of those things should do the trick if ya have a clue what ur doin.
Its jus goin to take a lil time and tinkering
