So I know this kid who has a wrecked sixth gen. I took a look at the car today and it's in sad shape...the car's steering wheel points to the left side when the car is going straight and the car feels really unstable when it hits a bump above about 40 MPH.
I didn't glance underneath, but I looked and saw this: The driver side upper frame rail looks very slightly tweaked...would you guys think that this would cause the alignment problems? And do you think it's safe to drive? And do you think an alignment would fix it?

Before you go getting all crazy and stipping the car, get it looked at and get it lined up. It could still be good. You'd be surprised what a little alinement can do to a car. I would actually consider putting in a full car cage if it's bad, and turning it into a race car. Might be more money than it's worth though.
