Need some expert frame help!!!

[Chevymann1968]

A few years back i was taking a cruise and the steering knuckle broke and i hit a drainage. well it bent the driver side rim and blew the tire and hasnt been on the street since!!! The Rim is leaning in toward the top!! The question is how could i measure it out to beable to tell if it is bent and does anyone have or could you take a pic of the frame from strait on!!! Or have the measurements i can use and the measurement points ?? Thanks

Maybe you'll get lucky, and just a control arm is bent. If the top of the rim is leaning in look at all the susp. pieces real good to see if you can find anything there. If that all looks good ,examine the frame rail on that side and look to see if it's twisted,or rolled in at the top.

Look at obvious stuff too, who knows maybe the impact knocked the alignment shims out, and that's why the wheel is leaning. Hope this helps.

I looked but it is hard to tell!!! I measured from the front motor mount hole to the oppisite side and the same place fromt eh other side and it is like an inch different!! Would that be accurate or not??
