40,000 miles on the struts isn't new lol. I really don't know what's available for the Camaro but I like Moog strut mounts. GM mounts are good too but kind of pricey.

Most struts only last about 50K miles so they might have seen better days.

drivers side

The whole front chassis looks shifted to one side, that's why it doesn't drive straight. You need to have a body shop fix that, if you can see it by eye it's really bad.

think it will cost an arm and a leg?

It depends on how much time they spend on it. You would have to call a body shop to get an estimate since I know nothing about body repair.

lol so i wonder if its possible to unbolt it all and adjust it to the correct place or if they have to replace parts. right now im leaning towards selling it.

no not that much as long as the no kinks or tears 400 to 500 at most. is there a school by you that does autobody as long as it just a pull its free at least were i went to school we did it free and they have the newest tools on the market but you frame has to be pulled to within 3mm

first check the door gaps to 1/4 panel and then check the doors to fenders then the hood to fenders and see if there all the same

we have an autotech and body shop by me but the body shop only does painting and paint prep.

you need to find one with a frame puller and measuring system. its not that bad i would keep it as long as you like it

explain a little more. what part of the door gap? the body is all fine the front end was all repainted. theres small deep sanding marks on the old hood and everything was lined up perfect like it never happened. i adjusted the fenders to fit the new SS hood.

you know what im thinking.. this dick i bought it from hit a curb hard as hell. cuz unless he wrecked years ago the paint is already fading on the fender but who knows.. -__-

im more curus of the door gap to the rear 1/4 panel and door to fenders that will tell you if and how far it swong to one side the gaps should be bigger on one side of the car and closer on the other side unless they groved the door hinges ( you can only ajust the door so far)
