I just discovered my trac has a bent frame from a front end accident by a previous owner. :frustrate Its causing my left front wheel to be about 1" further forward then the right. So I need to get the frame straighted since this is causing my right tire to wear badly on the inside and also makes the truck pull to the right a bit. Is this a very expensive job to have done?
 






Depends upon how much it has to be pulled and if they have to do any disassembly/reassembly to get it right. I had a Monte Carlo frame pulled straight for about $125 several years back, but each vehicle is different and it will depend upon the type and location of the damage.
 






I agree. Shouldn't be more than 2 or 3 hours labor. Get a competent shop to do it and don't worry about it any more. Frames are straightened all the time, had several done myself. Yours can't be all that bad if you've been driving it all this time.
 






Cool, there are a couple of shops here in Miami that only deal with chasis. I'm going to take the trac to one of them and see what they can do.
