Tow Truck Bent My Frame!?

[StanglovR1]

My car has been sitting 2-3" higher on the drivers side after the car got towed home.

I've pulled shocks and springs which are KYB and Eibach less than 2 years old. Shocks compress smooth with no binding and are firm and identical. I swapped coils from side to side still high on the drivers side.

I rock the car up and down without the shocks in, control arms and bushings are smooth. Everything looks fine underneath nothing bent or broken.

Wheels are centered in the wheel well. I don't see any ripples in the paint or off body lines indicating bent frame.

What am I missing???

Just the front, just the rear, the entire side?

Tow truck hooked only the back. Driver rear side sits high nowhere else

Do you have any idea what they hooked to? It may need to be measured out on a frame rack to check for damage (point to point measurements)

Or something in the suspension is bound up perhaps?


I'll take a stab and guess that you have aftermarket control arms? Just lower or upper and lower? What bushings?

Very possible that the suspension is binding somewhere, pulling the car onto a wrecked could have been the final straw for a stock rubber bushing somewhere?

Control arms and bushings are stock. All the control arms move up and down to full extent when I push down on the car and up, no shocks in currently. Moves freely nothings binding.

This is the style truck.
Guy was a really something... He didn't even chain the car down just hooked up the tires put it in gear and ebrake on and went

I'm hoping it is the control arms. Maybe il just get some aftermarkets. Any recommendations?

How about the cost for the test for the frame?

Should only take a good body shop 1 hours labor to measure the car out and get a good look at it. I would also contact the towing company if you believe they are at fault

This... don't toss money and parts at it until you know what's going on with it.
