Please stay focused on the original post, y'all. The OP is looking for car advice, and more comments about getting a real job will net you a warning from the moderators. I speak from experience here.

kmb, if you are ever in the Madison/Huntsville area, look up Paul's Wholesale Motors. He was a customer of mine for years, is a retired preacher, and sells really good used cars. Tell them Mel at Mom's sent you. No, he won't read you scripture unless you ask. He is, however, a retired golf pro, if you're into that. Good folk.

Please let me know what the body shop says. There will be a setup fee, then they measure and analize, and give you A) a price to straighten or B) an estimate of how many pulls it will take and the price per pull.

(retired parts manager 20+ years and DH is a master mechanic retired BTW) If you need parts feel free to DM me or ask here on this thread.

I AM hoping it is something simple like the trailing arms or toe camber adjustment. The frame thing is for when the previous two items don't fix things.

According to my mechanic, it's the control arms (I think that's what they're called) in the rear. I'm thinking my best course of action is to sell it and use the money as a down payment on a decent certified used car, either that or get a motorcycle.
