REcently posted here about my 98 Grand Marquis auto accident involving my daughter.
We originallythought it was the upper cotrol arm but that isnot the problem.
Turns out that the frame is actually bent near the shock absorber bracket. My brother (my mechanic is sending the car over to a shop with a frame machine. I'm guessing > $1000 to un bend the frame? The car has a Kelly blue book value of $1500.00 I have no collision insurance (huge mistakeon my part with an 18 year old operator) so I will be forking over the full amount.
Anyone have any experience good or bad about un bending the frame? Is the car safe to drive after this work is done? I have heard that the car never rides the same after this kind of work is done. After all, you to sraighten the frame you need to apply a load that will cause the steel to yield and you never get back the original shape.
