Frame Misalignment

The frame is a rubber-isolated sub-frame in the front of the vehicle. The frame supports the engine and transaxle, and provides the mounting point for the front suspension lower control arms. Any misalignment of the frame will cause a misalignment of the front wheels. Movement of the frame will usually cause an increase in caster on one side of the vehicle and a decrease in caster on the other. It can bind up the exhaust system, cause problems with control cables, and create unacceptable noises and sounds. Check for any obvious damage.
