Have A Bend In The Chasis

[PWND]

Jacked my car up today to change the front wheels, and noticed that at some point, in the last twelve months, a workshop must have jacked my car up incorrectly and actually bent the chasis rail a little (about 1 cm upwards). Will get some pics up tomorrow morning when it's light.

How hard is this to fix? Will it have an adverse affect on the car's handling and longevity, as I am planning on doing a few track days in the near future. Sorry for what may be a noob question.

Cheers for your imput.

i would be guessing you are talking about the cill, not the chassis. shouldn't make any difference if that's the case.

I suspect he's actually talking about a crushed chassis rail. (surprisingly, the rails have goos torsional strength, but absolutely no compression strength).

I drove mine, even on the track, with a crushed rail. Only got picked up on a RWC inspection. It's probably safe to leave it as is.

A good crash repairer can fix it.

It will just be the sill mate, if it is then there is nothing to worry about
