Core Support

[ritz]

Hey guys, i dont know if you can tell or not, but in my pics, on the front pass side, the prev owner had a accident and didnt get a chance to fix it. If you can see in the pics the pass side is back about 1-1.5 inch. I was wondering if it would be possible to take out the battery and bang that side back with a hammer or something, or would i have to replace the whole core support?

You could sure try, but I doubt you'll be able to get it much better than it sits with just a hammer. There's a good possibility you will do more harm than good just whacking away at the core support.

You should really consider a body shop, they'll have the proper tools - frame straightening machine (at least major collision/auto body shops have this), welding equipment, etc.
