Services Performed
- Test drove vehicle. Found steering wheel to be off (at 11:30 position). Drove straight down the road. Inspected front end; did not see any suspension parts obviously bent or worn out at this time. We do have history notes of drivers side strut seeping, but could not verify today. Did find that frame is damaged right behind bumper before suspension; see pics. Suspect possible rear crossmember to be tweaked but not enough to prevent alignment. Found tow out. Recommend toe adjustment. Also, recommend frame to be checked by body shop.
