Default who in here has bent their rear suspension?

if you have, how did you do it?

and what parts did you replace to fix any alingment issues??
did it ever get fully corrected or does the frame bend easily??

TIA

I personally have never done it BUT I did buy a car that was involved in a rollover the rear drivers side wheel was pushed in and it was sitting on an angle but the funny thing is is that none of the suspension componets were bent!! Yep they were just fine the thing that gave away was the rear cross member and pushed up into the spare tire well!! I will try to get a pic up for you on how it looked.

Well acording to the kids Dad he had "one too many" but smashed out the window with his foot and walked away. I never met the kid but he was obviously a moron and only 17 years old at the time!!

I got the car at a really good price considering the parts that were there, sure no body panel but tons and tons of other things that were good. I mean the car came with a factory service manual and an original CRX car cover and also a whole folder full of reciepts for the work that was done came with a DC header a K&N drop in fliter and a few other things lots of work just trying to get the dash out though since the damn pillars were squeezing it in had to hack it up pretty bad to get it out.

But otherwise all the wiring was good A/C worked yeah thats right worked!! Guy told me he couldnt get it running well once I got her home I noticed how the clutch pedal was bent so all I did was push in the neutral safety switch by hand and she fired right up!! Smoked quite a bit since it was sitting on its roof for awhile but otherwise ran like a champ!

*EDIT* Oh yeah and I found about $10 bucks worth of change all over the place and I mean ALL over the place from in the headliner to stuck in the sunroof assembly to all the way in back inside the taillights!!

I was passing a car on the right and was going pretty fast and hit a slick spot or something, spun out and hit a curb bent my rear left suspention. my tire was sitting at about 45 degree angle. just went to pick and pull and got a whole replacement for 35 buck and every thing was all good.
