Signs of Structural Damage
- Uneven Gaps Between Panels: If the doors, hood, or trunk don't close properly, or if there are uneven gaps between body panels, it may indicate that the frame is bent.
- Alignment Issues: A car with structural damage may pull to one side, indicating that the frame has been compromised.
- Visible Cracks or Bends in the Frame: In severe cases, you may notice visible cracks, bends, or damage to the car's frame or unibody.
