Has the car been crashed? .... 200

Very possible. I bought it from a man who bought it from a person who took crashed cars and made them "new". My guess is that the car was hit on the rear passanger tire area and that moved the axle. I could tell when I first bought it that the rear of the car felt like it was trailing off center, a bit like a snake. I'm hoping the problem isn't worse than just having to re-center the axle. A bent frame would be interesting too.


Thank you for giving me a good sense as to what can be done. I'll check the clearance of the tire to well as the car is on even ground. For now just knowing its not rubbing all the time will give me a little comfort cruising down the freeway.
