You've contacted us about this. It's standard racing car spaceframe repair that we've done many times. I've never seen factory specifications for what you need repaired. We have a straight chassis we can measure off of. If we do the repair it will be perfect.

Hitting a curb doesn't disturb the chassis at all, I'm on the race track with my car every second month, the only damage I had so far was a bad uniball of the lower suspension arm and when I spinned on the Adria Race Track I crashed over the curbs the steering column has moved, unscrew it and moved back was all what was needed.
The frame is strong enough to handle this.

hello raymond not shure how it happened but frame is out some how. i bought a new hub holder and new contoll arms becuase they were destroyed when we started putting suspension back together the wheel was sitting closer to the wheel well. so we try to adjust controll arms that didnt help so it has to be some type of frame damage.
