Cracked my frame and bent my k member
I hit a concrete sewage pipe when turning around in some tall grass, was only going about 10 mph if that, it popped my tire , bent my cross member and cracked my frame , the crack Is on the back of my drivers side wheel well, my drivers wheel is pushed out from the bent k member so it's not straight like the passenger side, my car yanks hard to the left if I don't hold the wheel, do you think that frame crack is fixable, I have a 1988 rx7 turbo 2 with 72k miles

do you think a cross member will straighten it so my wheel is straight? The control arms and tierods looked ok , think that crack will effect my ability to drive straight

What I meant was a new crossmember will give you a reference to the extent of the damage, even a tape measure and some string can give you a great starting point to determining the amount/severity of damage, as Lyger said a frame shop is the most professional way to address the issue, if the funds aren't available for that you can do quite a bit with a tree a come along and ratcheting binders(for chaining down heavy equipment)

The shop I took my car to did frame straightening as well as body work.
They call themselves a collision shop.I assumed that is the norm..
Hence why I mentioned "body" shop.
