Re: front end not right!

Too bad it's easier to do this with Photoshop than in real life.

Re: front end not right!

Ah, wish it was that simple Magwa.
It's been a while since I took my front end apart but I don't remember there being a lot of up and down adjustment where the fender bolts to the rad support. If you manage to lower the rad support the fender and grille will go down with it.

Re: front end not right!

I too am having the same issues exactly, for the exact same reason, except mine has a new driver fender only and new (used) out grille. Everything lined up perfectly before they disassembled it. Will post pics, but they look exactly like yours. my bumper is also the same.

Yes, I made sure the screw indents are at 9 and 12 o'clock.

I did also notice that they tightened the passenger side core support bolt tighter than the drivers side. I back it off to match the amount of threads on the core support mount bolts on the drivers side, but it didn't seem to do much.

Rather than loosening the bolts to compensate for the lean why not use some thick washers or the correct body bolt shims to even it out?
