Wheel alignment machine also tell frame bend. My car went through wheel alignment and the alignment technician told me nothing about the frame. Then I do not need to worry about frame bend. Right?

I heard it takes several days to straighten the frame.



I found rear of my driver's door a little down. 1992 300D. There was a gap beteween the rubber above the door and the body roof frame.

I asked a bodyshop and he said that a door can go down by aging.

I had my mechanic adjust the door when I went there for lubrication service last December.

Now the rear of the driver's door look very slightly up compared to rear door. The rubber above the door touches the ceiling frame.


When I bought my car last May, it had no accident report on the CARFAX.

I remember me checking body alignment (door lines, hood, . . ) carefully while I was shopping for a car. So it is hard to guess when the driver's door went out of position. I had a very minor accident last summer but that should not be the cause. Even the police said we do not need any police report. My car had only scratch on the bumper and damaged license plate. The Honda had a little damage from the front bumper (side. just in front of the front wheel) to middle of the right rear door.)
