holy funky weird frame problem!?

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (The Hitman)]

ever heard someone say that car is tracking funny? well that's what yours is 
doing, tracking funny. could be a few things- 1- you car/frame is bent or 
torqued. 2- your rear trailing arm in bent (ask calimus about this one) or 
3- something is bent up front (a-arm maybe?).
