my frame was bent when i bought it, it is the front bar that goees across from each shock in the middle of the frame, one side is down about 2/16 of an inche. but the thing is sience it is on piviot points will it effect anything, because my steering is fine my suspention is five, and the handeling is fine and i cant even notice it.........what do you think

the front of my frame is tweaked too and I'm not doin a damn thing about it..as long as it rides good leave it alone..you might do more damage to it than helping it if you try to straigten it..;)

Measure your caster and camber and see if the front end is in alignment
