how f'd is my prelude
a while back when i was at school and my brother was driving my car he hit a curb... at least thats what he told me
after it happened my bumper was hanging off, my alignment was really fucked up, the front passenger side of the car is noticably lower than the front drivers side, and a few other small problems like my reserve coolant tank was pushed up so its almost inaccessible...
finally decided to deal with all this **** cuz now that i made it a little faster i want it to look good... i got my alignment done and tires replaced but the tires are still wearing unevenly, prolly cause the passenger side is lower... i dont think my suspension is too messed up im wondering if the frame is bent...
i wanted to get the bumper flush with the hood and fender again so i had to take off that black bar in front of the radiator cuz it was bent pretty badly... the car steers pretty badly now when im accelerating and the radiator is obviously more vulnerable but what else could go wrong with having this bar off?
how much would it cost to get my car bent back into shape or to get my suspension fixed?

make sure he didn't bend the steering arm or a control arm.....get an alignment after you inspect all of your suspension components.
If you car sits lower, and your spring is in good shape - you bent something.
