Default Unibody frame time?

If any of you guys saw my posts before, my car was dropped by the shipping company. They've agreed to fix the front bumper the scuffed (97+ here I come) and fix the frame. They caught the front bumper pretty good



The car seems to track straight, but over bumps, it tends to cheat to the right. Braking feels straight as well... is my baby going to be put on the rack, or is the car stiff enough that a 6 inch drop on the passenger rear side didn't do much, and I just need an alignment?

What do you guys think?

Well, I missed your earlier posts about it, but I'm sorry you had this kind of BS happen to you. I assume the company has good liability coverage so here is what I would do (and I wouldn't settle for anything less)

1. Parts and labor for front bumper fix
2. 4 wheel alignment
3. Multipoint inspection for the suspension, brakes, wheels, tires, and frame by a Lexus tech. I would want the car put on a frame machine that checks it with lasers for straightness. If the car is perfect, get it in writing. If there are issues stemming from their screw up, get it in writing.

Do not settle for anything or sign off on anything until you are completely satisfied and 100% sure your car is perfect. They have liability insurance just for this kind of thing, so let them foot the bill for their mistake. Just make sure the car is OK before you release them from their liability. Good luck!
