Here's the deal...

My car tends to veer towards the left and the steering wheel is off by about 10degrees going counterclockwise. At first I thought it was an alignment problem so I took it to Honda World today. Just received call back that the cause is not alignment but rather I have a bent frame!! WTFFFF???? Granted I was in a very minor fender bender @ 5-10mph(my front went slightly under rear of MDX), but is that sufficient to damage the frame?? And it's interesting how the insurance company contracted body shop that fixed my S didn't catch this b/c it already existed when I brought into shop. Anyone have any ideas on how or what could have caused this? Your help is greatly appreciated!

It's possible your prev fender bender could have damaged your frame. You would be surprised at how little an impact can tweak a frame on any car. Unless you pull & align the frame, they won't be able to align the car to specs.

Did you buy your car used? If so, was there any disclosure to prior damage?? Dealers HAVE to disclose prior damage by law to a potential buyer. If they fail to do so, they leave themselves open to lawsuits. This is referred to Statute and Title/Errors and Omissions. Since my company insures auto dealers, I can tell you that this is something that we would cover if our insured is sued. My advice first, is to read your sales contract and have the car inspected for prior damage (again if it is used). If so, contact the dealer you purchased the auto from.

If there is no prior damage, PM Fsures (Fred) he is an awesome guy and knows a great place to take your car and have the frame straightened by someone who knows S2ks and knows what they are doing.

As always, feel free to PM for more info, I can do some more research when I get time. See you tonight.

Thanks guys. According to Honda World, the bent frame is true. They suggested that I bring my S back to the shop that fixed my fender bender. Luckily my issues with the previous body shop isn't fully resolved so I will bring it back to them next week and b*tch at them until they are willing to do everything over and this time properly. I just didn't want to go back to the shop and be aloof to the fact that the fender bender may have caused this or else they would've brainwashed me otherwise. Man I can't wait to have fun tonight!
