I hit the bottom front of my car extremely hard, (bottomed out), and now i think that my car is ****-eyed.....the passenger side of the car sits about 2 or 3 inches higher than the driver's side. I was wondering what could have caused this? maybe the springs or control arm or somehting like that is f*cked up? Help me out....thanks...

You could have bent the engine bay cowling (which is what the k-member bolts to) which could cause it to sit crooked. Or the k-member (or a-arm) could be bent as F$%K. Look at the upper and lower a-arms to see if they are bent.

If you can't see anything physically bent/cracked/broken then I would take it to a body shop and have them put it on a frame machine and they can tell you what's wrong.

My car was wrecked before I bought it. The k-member and frame were bent bad. I took the car and another stock k-member to the body shop and they straightened it for $250. My motor was out of my car though which will play some effect in the pricing.

Thank for the reply solid......my best friend's dad owns a body shop, so I'll probably be making a trip down there.
