After hitting a rock last week,my right fender is a bit off. it seems to be about 1/3 inch lower than it should be, up front, along with the corner light. I hit the rock with the center of my car, so why is that side lower by a bit? Can anyone give me any information about rectifying the problem?

you should take pics of it. you should just take off the front bumper and look around.

Maybe the rock is stuck in there someplace and weighing your car down.

I hit it directly head on. I'm just asking what some possibilities are, as I don't know if this damage could indicate something as simple as bent mounts or as serious as a bent frame.

\this is like when people call me and they're like "i get an error when my computer boots up, what's wrong?!". well, lets try to weed out the first billion possibilities first....

I would, but I can't get under the car to do it. I'm getting tires tonight, I'll take some while the car is on the lift.

It was at my friends house, and the dumbass let his friend borrow it. I still haven't gotten it back. I have a crappy scissor jack, but the thing can barely lift the car to change a tire.

scissor jacks use YOU to lift the car. so if the jack won't lift the car, the problem is YOU.
I've been stuck many times and gotten under the car using a scissor jack to lift it.
