fixing a unibody

[meatman10523]

believe it or not this is not referring to the subarjew...that may come later

about 2 years ago i was hungover and driving home from a 4th of july party on the 5th and almost missed my exit outside of DC. i whipped accross 2 lanes of trafic (scaring the crap out of another volvo driver) and it looked like i was going to make it....but low and behold the median stuck out and came to a nice little point where i could not see it before i committed...i hit it pretty square at about 30mph...volvo took it like a champ (any jap car prob would have had the whole front end tear out) but the car has a pull to it now and i think the suspension points bent a little

i know they make frame machines and you can often get the points pulled close back into position...but it costs$$ i have a feeling...anyone have any experience with this?

iam looking at a V70r right now, with auto , but really the only reason i want to get rid of the 850 is i that it may never drive straight again

any advice?

Are you sure it's the frame? Could just be a bent tie rod or other suspension part.

I've heard a truck, chain and a big tree can straighten a frame.
