I got a car and it has a small frame damage, cause it got it in a low speed colistion. the passanger side front corner is a little pushed in. little as in it still drives straight and when i let go the steering wheel at 60mph it stays straight. but when i tried putting on the new fender it doesnt aline right and same with the head light, to get it fixed the guy at a shop said 75 bucks and it would take 1 hr at the most.
would this small fram damage come to haunt me later on?

i'd get underneath the car and check the suspension... if you see any "fresh metal", as in not covered in the uniform dust and grime from use then you may have a problem, aside from that, if nothings noticeable, you may be fine, but be wary and alert

ight check it.. ive worked a CHIEF frame machine b4...

if yoru body gusy is quoting u $75.. do it...
thas a good deal..

he's prob just goin to pull tha rail to specs... & u shoudl be good to go...

knowing what i knwo now.. about frame damage.. & what problems it car cause u later on.. its deff worth gettin it fixed..
if yoru really worried & wanna check for your self.. make yoru self a tram gauge.. or jsut use a tap measure.. & do CROSS points on front half of yoru car...
alwasy measure to tha same point on both sides of tha frame....
If u have a long enough tape measure & a friend.. try & get some X points from tha front to tha middle of your uni-body frame.... ** remember same point on either side is a MUST....

any other questions... hit me up...

ahh I think ur just getting ripped off, the frame shop by me charges 65 an hour, but a stock 1 (or 1.5, don't remember) hour time fee for putting it on the frame machine...comes otu to be like 2.5 max, and it's a lazer frame machine, so it's always perfect :-P

As to the post, I doubt it'll come back to haunt you, when you change your tires next, check for uneven wear, Actually I would get a 4 wheel alignment and make sure they can align them all (they may not be able to if the frame is bent the wrong way or too far...)

Just tell somebody about it if you sell the car,

Here's what I would do:
Take it to your tire place and get a 4 wheel alignment, you said it drives straight at 60mph, so it should be fine, if they can align all 4 wheels perfectly, you're fine, if they can't, then you'll have to turn to a frame shop or you'll be getting uneven wear of hte tires, which will cause you to have bad gas mileage, so on and so forth
