Re: i feel so horrible...

Dude, it seems that this is pretty common unfortunately.. when i was 16 I
understeered my rocco into a curb,bent the a-arm real bad and bent the
axle. I replaced the a-arm and my dad pressed the axle straight at his
work. i thought everything was fine, but next time I got an alignment they
said the right wheel (the one I smashed) had like 2 or 3 extra degrees of
caster. (non-adjustable) and the lower subframes wont fit either in between
the front mounting points... So my frame is tweaked.. I'm gonna take it to
a frame shop and get it straightened. It's only been 5 years. heheh
