wheelbase ?

[suprasick]

Just got back from the alignment shop and the tech said my left and right wheelbase were different and the frame might be bent. The right is 102.3in and the left is 103.2in. How could this be? The car has never been in a major accident?

From the supra wiki the wheelbase is 102.2in, so would that mean my frame stretched?

Thanks for your help

might be previous accident or that the tech took it wrong.
frame bent by .900 is rare. let alone if it wasn't accidented

Never any guarantee that your car hasn't been in an accident at some point. A decent body shop/guy/girl could repair damage without the cosmetics being hurt too bad, and *not* report it to any DMV, insurance, etc... However, my money is on an incorrect reading if the car looks/feels solid all around.

Thanks for the responses. I'm am going to a different shop to get it realigned

Is it possible worn subframe bushings can cause this?

I would think they'd have to be REALLY worn (to the point of nearly non-existence) for the alignment to be *that* far off...
