2020年9月3日 · Likely the frame is OK but the shackle hanger is bent, causing the leaf spring (and therefore the axle) to shift a little. The hangers are easily bent off-roading as well, but they aren't too bad to replace in a shop environment.

2025年1月11日 · It was a real smack, but fortunately, the SUV seems to have absorbed most of the energy, though my frame is bent at the back. It is likely that my frame is bent on the left side forward of the rear axle a bit as the left side bed is sitting 3/4" higher than the right side bed over the rear tires. It is now tracking ever so slightly left which ...

2021年3月25日 · It's bent after the control arm before the cab mount and it pushed the whole frame rail in the front up about an inch or two. You can see it cuse of a welded on tube bumper. As for driving I mean I can drive it I rub on the firewall if it's a bumpy road at full lock.

2018年8月23日 · now to my the dilemma: 1) do I spend around 2k at a frame shop to repair my frame professionally 2) try to fix it on my own since I know right where it is bent and it doesn't have to go that far or 3) cut the new crossmember at the welds, flatten it a bit, reweld it once it fits right and live with a slightly bent frame.

2022年4月13日 · Might not be able to decipher anything from this post, but I think I have a bent/broken frame somewhere. I'm wondering if anyone can determine where I should start looking, based on my symptoms. No alignment shops are ever able to align my truck properly. They can never get enough caster, despite JBA high caster UCA's.

2017年1月5日 · Only trouble is, the frame is bent in the back where the hitch bolts up to the chassis. I thought about putting it up on a frame machine which is cost prohibitive. Was thinking of getting a donor frame and cutting off the bent parts and welding up steel from the donor.

2022年10月2日 · Frame replacement seems like overkill for a kink in the last 8" of a simple C channel. A pry bar isn't going to work well as it's more likely to bend the location you're prying against.

2013年1月8日 · The fact is repairable or not, it's "frame damage" and it's now a scarlet letter on this truck. It will follow this truck for the rest of its life, every carfax that's ever pulled on it if I decide to sell it will show that and that is all that someone will see. It's tainted, bottom line. We all know the fallout of a bent frame.
