ok, the DPO did something to the right side of my '78 spit:
there is a slight (1/16-1/8") kink in the right front frame
at the aft mount point for the engine/shock mounting bracket
(shock tower?), right where the frame is notched for the
exhaust pipe.
it looks like the right front wheel has impacted
the firewall near the passenger foot well and perhaps up under
the wheel arch also. in addition, the right rear wheel has a
noticable wobble.
not having any of the special tools for rear halfshaft work, is
there any way to figure out which part is actually bent? when
you spin the drum, you can see the gap between the drum and the
backing plate vary, but the shaft appears to turn true, at least
to my uncalibrated eye.
