If you’ve recently been in a major collision with your Ram 1500, one of the biggest concerns is the condition of your truck’s frame. The frame is the backbone of your vehicle—literally. Even minor misalignment can affect everything from your truck’s drivability to tire wear and long-term safety. That’s where frame straightening comes in, and The Collision Shop in Brownstown has the tools and expertise to get your Ram back to factory specs.
Why Frame Straightening Matters After an Accident
The Ram 1500 is built tough, but no truck is immune to damage when the impact is strong enough. After a serious collision, the frame may bend or twist in ways that aren’t visible from the outside. If ignored, this can lead to:
- Uneven tire wear
- Poor handling
- Suspension issues
- Doors or panels that no longer align properly
- Reduced crash safety in future incidents
Frame damage isn’t just cosmetic—it’s structural. That’s why precise frame straightening is crucial to protect your investment and ensure your safety.
How We Straighten Frames at Our Brownstown Shop
At The Collision Shop in Brownstown, we use high-end frame measurement and pulling equipment to carefully restore your Ram’s frame. The process includes:
- Inspection & Diagnostics
Our techs visually inspect and then digitally measure your Ram 1500’s frame using computerized equipment to detect even the smallest bends. - Factory Spec Alignment
We compare your truck’s current measurements to the original factory dimensions provided by Ram. This ensures we’re not guessing—we’re restoring it to exact specs. - Frame Pulling Process
Using our hydraulic frame machines, we gently but firmly pull the frame back into alignment. This is a delicate task that requires experience and precision. - Post-Straightening Check
Once everything is back in place, we re-measure, check for hidden damage, and inspect all alignment points to verify the structural integrity of your truck. - Insurance Coordination
If your repairs are covered by insurance, our team will coordinate with your provider and help you through the claim process from start to finish.
We Specialize in Ram 1500 Collision Repairs
While we work on all makes and models, we regularly see Ram 1500s come through our shop due to their popularity across Brownstown, Woodhaven, Flat Rock, Trenton, Southgate, and surrounding areas. We understand the structure, frame design, and what’s needed to get your Ram back on the road looking and driving like new.
Signs Your Frame May Be Damaged
Even if your Ram 1500 doesn’t look too bad after the accident, frame damage could still be present. Here are some warning signs:
- Your truck pulls to one side while driving
- Steering feels off or inconsistent
- Uneven gaps between body panels or doors that don’t close smoothly
- Squeaks, rattles, or odd sounds while driving
- Visible frame bends or cracks under the truck
If you notice any of these issues, don’t delay. Frame damage gets worse over time and can lead to much more expensive problems later.
