Usually impact damage from a crash or big hit into something. I can't recall if that is a radious rod car or not but I would start looking for bent lower parts pretty quickly depending on how far back it is pushed.

The issue: I had this on my nine-deuce. It was like that when I got it, but i'm sure someone hit a curbie, or some other immovable object.

The remedy: I got my frame pulled on a frame rack at an autobody/allignment shop.

The cost: If I remember right, I think it was about $180 for that AND a four-wheel allignment (which is necessary after that).

The outcome: It handled way more neutral after that, and looked better too.

your front crossmember is prolly bent. it's the big-*** stamped piece that the radius rods are connected to, and are designed to give/bend in a severe curby or frontal accident; they give so all your expensive casted suspension components are saved. the crossmember cost around $300 new from honda.
