ok so i just recently got into a drifting accident..(hit the curb :doh:)
so i looked at the damage and basically went out and got all the parts i needed for it..which was the tension rod bracket and the lower control arm. everything was good ready to bolt everything back up and start rollin :hsdance:

NOW HERES MY PROBLEM: when i tried to bolt the tension rod bracket back up the bolts did not wanna line up, due to the fact that the bracket that holds the radiator moved about an inch back...what can i do to fix this? i just need to line everything back to where it bolts up..

can i just get some hydrolic jacks and try to push it forward til it bolts up?..heat up the metal so its easier to bend? or is there something else i can do?..or am i screwed on this one??

if anyone has some info please help me out!!! this is my only daily driver and i need to get to work!

The lower radiator support is bent apparently. You can halfass it by beating and prying on it, or go the correct route and have a body shop pull it on a frame machine.

Quit fucking around on the street and this won't happen again.
