The rad support is pretty solid, without holding the car down and a heavy winch you're not going to straighten it too easily.

I'd say replace the core support, from the looks of things it's quite possible that frame rail tips are bent slightly (or at least one is bent down) - but that's up to you to worry about, the car should still be able to be aligned to 60 --- Get a new rad support, make sure you weld it too, do it right, don't just half-*** it hoping the bolts will hold.

i personally have never had a problem like that. but my friend rear ended someone and ruined the radiator support. so i guess he bought another radiator support and brought it to a body shop and they took the old one out and just spot weld the new one in. hope that helps

any idea on the price of getting it done by a body shop? i got in a front end accident and ill be needing to replace my core support and front bumper, i dont have a welder or torch, how much will a body shop charge if i bring in parts?

I bought a core support off of ebay for cheap...you do have to tack weld the bottom of the core support and a little on the sides but other than that is not to hard...you could also consider using a rubber mallot and hitting it out. I did that with mine after I was rear-ended and pushed into the car in front of me, it was pretty easy. A shop could do it for pretty cheap but they are extremely easy to do if you have a welder and a little patience
