How do you unbend a damaged car frame?
I recently bought a used car from a private seller and I’m worried that the frame is bent. I’ve been having issues keeping it steady while I drive. How do you unbend a damaged car frame?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with this issue! A bent frame is usually the result of a previous collision or misaligned wheels.
To unbend or fix a
bent car frame
, you will need to take it into an auto body repair shop. Technicians can then assess the damage and decide what to do from there. Typically, they will use a series of hydraulic tools to press and pull your frame back to its original position.You can expect to pay around $800 to get your bent car frame straightened.
