Ok i have o4 mustang GT, it was involved in a front end crash. (wasn't my fault). Biggiest problem it really buggs me, front left wheel sits back more than the other wheels, im talking front to back not in . so when peope look at my car from the side they see that its sits back to far almost looks like its going to rub the car when it moves. It's the frame thu, first thought controle arm, knuckler maybe everything neeeded to push forward. is there any other way any of yall can think of how to move the wheel center cheaply. I just want it fixed for the looks. thought about lowerin the car 2 inches becuse i noticed when mustansd are lowerd the front just goes steright down so it kinda looks like the wheels back more so becuse its so low. thanks for any help

 

Your cradle is probably messed up, you can go to a body shop and see if they'll do a small tug on the cradle/lower control arm with the frame rack BUT one or the other may collapse and they may not be able to get it within spec if it doesn't. Did you buy the car after the accident or did you have it fixed? If you had it fixedI'd call the insurance company and get the shop back involved so they can correct it.

 

Bought it from a dealership, prevous accdent befor i bought it, i never notcied it becuse it had a molded saleen kit, and diffrent fenders that the bod shop aligned pointed down. and they used like a hammer to knock the frame in. somone did a really cheap job to this car.

 

I really just want it to look more cener for looks. becuse at the way it is now i dont feel like puting more mods to it, if it will alaways look like that from the side. you kinda get what im saying about lowering the car?

 

sell it and find another mustang. a wrecked car is normally a curse its whole life if a cheap job was done repairing the damage. my 95lincoln mark VIIIhad been t boned on the drivers side in 97 and cheaply fixed with parts off another mark VIIInow it looks like total sh*t and 3 months ago was hit in the front. now im just fixing it to use as a dd so i can park the mustang, but my dreams of turning it in to a show car are gone because of the cost of fixing the first repair job. if you can afford it sell it and buy a car thats accident free. my .02

 

damm that sucks bro, I am having a bad feeling about this car. it was 7k with 40 thousand miles and its a 04. had a full saleen kit, molded , vents,fenders molded to sideskirts, rear bumper molded to quarter. its all jacked up. never buy a car from a deaerlship in Virgina called Kimbles Auto Sale. so u dont think lowering would make it less noticble. nothing elise u can think of.

 

you should have caught that.

 

Did they tell you it was in a wreck?

 

no, i could tell it was thu, i just thouht it was such a good deal. then i had them sign a paper saying there was no frame damage. but the way they put it was " Are mechnica put car on lift and did not see any frame damage.

 

should have done a carfax. I always have someone look at the cars I buy before I finalize the purchase.
