Well I won’t know for sure until I can get it to the frame shop. Is unibody damage generally easy to repair?

Generaly, from what I’ve seen… Really depends on how its tweaked, you may get lucky, or it may feel a lil fucked up for the rest of its exisistance.

Most people I know that have any type of frame/unibody damage to their cars, say it hardly ever feels the same, even when it look spot on, maybe more of a psycological thing, but anyone I knew that had a tweaked frame before said you just know its not the same.

Just ask Jay about this on his integra. He did a very similar event to his RR and tweaked the unibody pretty hard. I hard to “ghetto pull” the frame out a solid 3/8" because apparently no garage would touch it, and even in doing that it did not bring it back fully into spec.

(Note, I do not straighten unibodys here so no quotes. He was in a pinch and I lent him a hand by doing a rough quick fix on it w/o getting to in depth into the car itself).

Found the problem yesterday while the Z was on a lift. The front right king pin is visibly damaged, can’t believe I missed it. :🙂

Lussier’s Autobody and Repairs… Small shop, and I’m only a few years in, but we’ve got some damn good techs there… It’s nice to work alongside people that have been up on this stuff for the past 20 years, I learn new stuff daily.
