I'm wondering if it was such a slight hit, how would the frame have been damaged? Did you need to replace the rim? That can't be helping things any.

Maybe you need a second opinion on the frame before you go throwing all this cash at fixing a problem that is minimal at best. Go to a second shop, don't tell them about bouncing off the curb, just say you feel it's pulling a bit, and see what kind of diagnosis you get.

I understand how picky Mustang owners can be, but sometimes it's not worth throwing serious cash into a problem that's not really all that bad. Just a different opinion to consider, as I have said before in a different thread under different circumstances, it's your money, and my opinion, not my place to tell you how to spend the hard earned cash!!! Best of luck.

umm, this may sound stupid, but what about putting blocks into the spring perch's to lift the car up, and bring it onto the frame machine? We've done that before to get lowered cars on ours. You won't want to drive it like that down the road, but it works awesome for getting lowered cars up on ramps.

And why would you take it back to Ford? Unless theres no other good bodyshops up your way that is?
I mean they all use the exact same charts............

Just a thought

If it were my car I would go to the hassel of putting stock springs back in and have it all done perfectly to spec at ford then I would re-lower it. Sure sounds like a lot of work but then you know your baby is done properly and it will all be worth it in the end.

Good luck.

Infact I did have to replace the rim - it was dented pretty good. I took it to Ford intially cause I always take my cars to the dealership - until I find a good mechanic I trust I just go back to the dealership - at lease there's a warranty on their work. I agree that putting the stock springs back is a good idea - if I still had them Ohh well, I'll just drive to a few shops and see what they can do. Crossing my fingers. Thanks for all the advice fellas.

As an aside, too bad it didn't pull to the left - I would have just sold it to a Nascar wannabe.

ok, so, again, why not just put block in there untill they get it up onto their machine?

Your not gonna get on any proper rack with a lowered mustang. Well, you can with boards, etc, but its still iffy............

And, any proper bodyshop will warranty their work. Once the frame is pulled and fixed the way it should, there should never be a problem with it anyhow.

Im not discounting your idea SXE MX6 - hope it works. I'll let the body shop know. Thanks.
