FYI - proper accident repair assumes that the shop is qualified to check the distances from component to component on a frame machine whenever there's a chance of frame damage. With integrated shock towers, this can happen with a fairly minor impact. Your shop should have checked this, or should have ascertained that there was no possible way for the frame to have moved. I'm still reluctant to believe that _both_ sides would be out after only one side was hit in an accident - unless the impact was severe and there was a force applied to the opposite side by the suspension on impact. In any event, the solution is the same - careful measurement down to the mm by a qualified tech. Bob
