Suggestions for straightening radiator support please
A while back I encountered a very steep "dip" in a parking lot. I wasn't moving fast, but it made a loud scraping noise. No visible external damage, but I had the car up on the ramps for a tranny service last night, and it is very obvious the radiator support was pushed back along with the belly pan.
The belly pan itself is ripped, so I'll need a new one. The radiator support is about 2 inches further back on the driver's side, at least compared to the passenger side. Who knows, maybe the passenger side was pushed back a little bit too (though it doesn't seem so). I have already removed the radiator to replace the belt and tensioner, and the radiator did not want to slide out easily since everything is skewed.
Any suggestions for straightening it out? Like I said the radiator is already out, however the A/C condensor is still in there, so pounding is out of the question unless I crack the A/C system open (don't want to do that).
