Any way to fix a chassis twist?

If the car has been wrecked, it may be necessary to have the chassis "pulled" at a frame shop. They have a set of measuring data points that will tell you if the car is FUBAR..

yeah, I'll get it checked out and keep you guys updated. Thanks. And yes my car is misaligned. My driver side sits about 1-2 inches higher than my passenger side. My car is not very easy to drive over 60mph either.

that might be a spring issue. if one side sits higher than the other. check you springs on your front struts...if they have been cracked, broken mount..etc. if the shop has to elongate the alignment holes....do it. I have yet to align my own car yet do to the upgrades on suspension.
chassis twist is a B****. subframe connectors help out. along with a STB.
