MP5GUY Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Ok heres the short story. Got hit by a car in the pass side just short of the front bumper. Wheel took all of impact and A-arm area attached to frame. Now the frame is "Tweeked" A-arm is junk and ajuster is wanting to "reconditon" the wheel. I am not shure that with the all wheel drive system ect that this is going to be as easy a fix as what he thinks. Have any of you had a S.S. with front damage that can relate any storys good or bad? Was it ever the same agian? My body guy is 120% so the frame and other damage is my only ???? I know I am not giving you much to work with but. Figure this I was hit by a honda car which then spun and took out the bed. So it had quite a bit of force. The steering wheel is off all most a full turn!

StevenSStruck Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 The frame i believe is a 4 piece frame, each piece can be straitened back to normal. I would take it to the dealership, and one that wont screw you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_w Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 If the frame is bad enough, here in MA they'll throw a whole new frame under the truck rather than total it. My Avalanche was hit in the back pretty bad. My frame rails were kinked down at more than a 45* angle to the ground. They pulled it, reinforced, and undercoated - it was hard to tell anything was done. I'm not sure about reconditioning the wheel or anything, but I honestly wouldn't be overly concerned about the frame. I could not tell my truck was hit (9K in damage front and rear), after it was repaired. sorry about the mess though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
