Default hood is misaligned when jacked up

hey guys, dont worry, im getting my membership lol, anyway, here is my problem:

i was replacing my knuckle on the right rear of the car. i only jacked up one side of the s2000. and i noticed that my hood would be misaligned when the car was jacked up on the rear jacking spot. have you guys noticed this? my car was in a accident before i got it so im afraid the car is not as stiff as before causing the chassis to flex when i lift the car. thanks for the help.

thats deff not normal... it probably was due to the accident.... I would say the latch for the hood on the rear right is not tight enough or something!

well, i had to weld the bottom piece on the rad support. for some reason the spot welds on it broke. this piece is also connected to the hood latch. so now the hood you have to really push down for it to close. too much tension maybe? the car feels great. maybe i can just put extra braces to account for the chassis flex.

or maybe it happens to other s2000's and no one noticed it yet?
