my body is ^$&%*# up. i need help

[96fbody]

hey. can anyone tell me how to fix my body. it seemed to have slipped off to the passenger side of the car. i have a 96 3.8L camaro. and the only reason that i think this could have happened is because i spun the tires goin on a left hand turn and it snapped back hard to the right.

i dont really know that much about cars but i highly doubt you moved the whole body of you car...it sounds like when u spun ur tires and slid to the left then they caught pretty hard a jerked ur back to the right and u didnt actully move the body of ur car..but like mike said pictures would help alot

the first pic is the left side. the second is the right, where the body seems to have shifted.

check to make sure your panhard bar isn't loose. if all the bolts are tight you might need to get an adj phr.

Buy a chiltons manual then :D

I see what you mean.. thats kinda weird. I'd take the car into an alignment shop and see what they say.

the red bar is an adj phr. i needed it after i lowered my car b/c it shifted to the pass side like your car. if your car has stock springs i'm not really sure why it shifted, but you can just look under your car and see if something is wrong w/ your stock phr. you may be able to get a stock bar for cheap or you can buy an aftermarket one. the adjustable one allows you to lengthen or shorten it which will shift the rear end one side to the other.

Our cars don't have struts..

Re: my body is ^$&%*# up. i need help

when i bought the car (3 days ago) i was told that it had new shocks and struts.

Yea they're idiots. Anyway lets move off the subject before FirebirdGT comes in here and goes all nuts over it...

If you ever lower your car you NEED to get it realigned.. not doing so is just plain dumb.
