Default Frame Machine in San Antonio

Hey guys. I think my K-member might be tweaked from getting pushed into a curb a while back. The alignment guys can't get my castor into adjustment and I can see where the k-member has shifted on one of the bolts.

Does anyone know of a good shop in San Antonio that has a frame machine they can measure the k-member on? I'm not sure if the k-member is bent or just moved. I have little to no experience with k-members, so i'm some what at a loss.

I live on the north side, but I can drive where ever if it's worth it.

Thanks,
Chris

I had took my old SS to Joel's auto collision off 410 to check frame. It was $90 total. I think that would be ur best route before replacing it.

I will probably do that then. I can do $100. Jesus already passed his k-member on to some other reckless dude .

Thanks again guys,
Chris

I called Joel's and they want $180 to measure it and $350-550 depending on what's wrong exactly to fix it. Since I can buy a tube k-member for that, I decided to not even bother going over there. Instead I went to Harbor Freight and bought a portable remote hydraulic press with some attachments to push the k-member back out. The plan is to unbolt the k-member, push it back into place, then go get it aligned again.

If I destroy my k-member, it looks like Strano is going to be getting some of my money in the near future

If there is carnage, I will post pictures

That's what i'm going to do if I can't fix it myself. I have a 4 ton hydraulic press, so something awesome is going to happen!
