Is my frame tweaked..?
Is this a way of telling if the frame is tweaked, sorry im a body n00b...
car is jacked up on all 4 sides, jackstands under every side. But when you push down, one side of the car that is not resting on a jackstand will then rest on it..
so basically its only on 3 points..

hmm...
never thought about that - ill check tommorow.. I guess the only way to figure out is taking to a body shop and letting them put it on the frame machine..

check the floor! and if that is not it try to examine your frame for simple signs of tampering w/ or anything that looks unusual.. could be an A arm.. also depends on where your jacking it up by! it is hard to find a car anymore that hasn't been wrecked! my old car had a clean title and the nose was swayed! (so i had to get a pull) hope that helps.

Is there any way to avoid a twisting chassis in a unit body? I mean, unless you put in your own tube frame isn't it just something you have to deal with? I'm a noob too, just throwing my own theories in the mix.

Re: Is my frame tweaked..? (navin)
my 00 si does the same exact thing...floors are also level. only rests on 3 jack stands. i also noticed that beside by sunroof...same spot on both sides....there is a dent. this makes me wonder. i did hit a huge pothole that bent 3 forged racing hart rims, so that might explain it all.

if it bent 3 holes, it wasn't a pothole... We call those craters!
