When your Nissan has been in an accident, even a minor one, the damage isn’t always skin-deep. One of the most commonly overlooked — yet critically important — issues is frame misalignment. The frame is your vehicle’s backbone, and even a small shift can lead to big problems with handling, tire wear, and safety.
If you’re in Brownstown or nearby cities like Flat Rock, Woodhaven, Southgate, Taylor, Allen Park, or Trenton, The Collision Shop of Brownstown is your trusted destination for expert Nissan frame repair.
What Is Frame Misalignment?
The frame of your Nissan holds everything together: the engine, suspension, body panels, and more. When you’re involved in a collision — whether it’s a low-speed bump or a more serious crash — the impact can twist or bend the frame slightly. This misalignment can cause a ripple effect on how your car drives and how it wears down over time.
Even if the damage isn’t visible to the eye, it could still exist beneath the surface. If your Nissan feels “off” while driving — drifting, pulling to one side, or vibrating — it’s worth getting it checked out.
Signs Your Nissan Has Frame Damage
Whether you’re driving an Altima, Rogue, Sentra, or Murano, these warning signs may point to frame misalignment after an accident:
- Uneven tire wear
- Poor wheel alignment even after alignment service
- Visible gaps between body panels
- Steering feels loose or off-center
- Doors or trunk don’t close properly
- Unusual vibrations while driving
If you notice any of these, bring your car in as soon as possible. Delaying frame repair can lead to more expensive problems down the line.
How We Repair a Misaligned Nissan Frame
