I sent the following message out on Monday but go no replies. I'll try
one more time. Sorry for the duplication.

My 76 Spit took a bashing into a curb on the right side. Most of the
damage was in the suspension but there also rocker panel damage. I had
the frame straightened, the rocker panel off and other parts
straightened. Now I find that the right side outrigger seems bent
upward. It is not horizontal like the left side. This will cause the tub

to be skewed upward in the front right.
Before I take it back to the frame shop, what is the best way to get the
outrigger back in line? Can it be done on the car (it is hard to pull
downward)? Would I be better off to lift the tub?
