Signs of frame damage
- 01
Car pulls to one side
Even after a wheel alignment, the car drifts or the steering wheel sits off-center.
- 02
Uneven gaps
Doors, hood or trunk no longer line up with the panels around them.
- 03
Doors won't close properly
The door opening has changed shape, so doors stick, rub or need a slam.
- 04
Uneven tire wear
One tire wears faster than the others because the wheels no longer sit square.
How frame damage is found and fixed
Most of what keeps you safe in a crash sits under the paint. Structural damage has rules of its own, and many of them come straight from the car's maker.
Most cars are unibody
On most modern cars the body itself is the structure. There is no separate frame, so damage can spread through rails, pillars and floor.
Damage can hide
I-CAR describes a car with front rails 20 mm out of specification and no visible panel-gap problems. Only measuring found it.
Measured, not eyeballed
GM and FCA/Stellantis repair procedures call for three-dimensional measuring equipment, used before and after straightening.
Not all steel can be straightened
Hyundai prohibits heat on ultra-high-strength steel and requires damaged parts of it to be replaced at factory seams.
Each model has its own rules
Makers publish where a part may be straightened, sectioned or must be replaced. The rules differ between models.
It can show on vehicle history
CARFAX reports structural damage when structural parts were repaired or replaced. Keep the repair paperwork.

Frame Straightening questions
Can a bent frame be repaired?
Often, yes. It depends on where the structure is bent, how badly, and what the car's maker allows. The shop will tell you after it inspects the car.
Is it safe to drive with frame damage?
If you think the frame is damaged, call before driving it. Free towing is available on qualifying major repairs.
What is the difference between frame and unibody damage?
Trucks and some SUVs have a separate frame under the body. Most cars are unibody, where the body shell is the structure, so damage can run through rails, pillars and the floor.
How can I tell if my car has frame damage?
Warning signs include pulling to one side, uneven panel gaps, doors that don't close properly and uneven tire wear. Some damage only shows up when the structure is measured.
Can every bent part be straightened?
No. Some makers, such as Hyundai, prohibit straightening ultra-high-strength steel with heat and require damaged parts of it to be replaced at factory seams.
Will frame damage show on a vehicle history report?
It can. CARFAX reports structural damage when one or more structural parts were repaired, replaced or modified. Keep your repair paperwork.
Does insurance cover frame straightening after an accident?
That depends on your policy. Luxe Auto Body accepts all types of insurance.
