I bought a 86 Olds Cutlass supreme last month. It'a a clean ride n engine is in good condition. It has 117,000 miles on it n drives smooth. I notice that the car leans low on the driver rear side. I notice the inside of my truck is wet. Thougth I would need suspension. So I got the work done n put shocks in. The tech told me that my frame is busted on that side. The car does not lean as much. It looks even but still about a 1inch lower then the other side (than before being 2 1/2 inches lower). It drives smooth until I get to 65 mph n it vibrates a little. I was told that it cost money to get a fram for my type of car. My question is can I keep driving my car around? How long will my new shocks hold up? Will my frame break lose all together later on?

Stop driving it, and get it welded. A good welder can stab some metal on it and it will hold.

My ex-spouse had one as quickly as we've been given mutually. dealing with; rather sturdy for its day - the V6 became extra effective than the V8 because of the fact of extra effective front-rear stability. Have the alignment keep set the camber to the damaging shrink, and the caster to the useful shrink. This heavily improves the two turn in, and straight away line stability. Brakes have been easily undesirable. in case you slammed on the brakes, the fronts might lock up, and the motor vehicle might slide. in case you slowly utilized the brakes to finished rigidity, the rears might lock up and you will possibly spin. Plan on the fee of an alignment a minimum of as quickly as in line with 12 months - the front ends do not stay aligned. The inventory muffler final under 30K miles. there are extremely some overall performance aspects for the Buick 3.8l V6. in case you purchase it, I propose you concentration on recuperating the brake and suspension structures until now attempting for extra potential. maximum inexpensive thank you to develop potential is to advance its respiratory - headers and twin exhaust, and a couple of chilly air hoses (use domicile carry dryer hoses) working from at the back of the grill to the air purifier cannister. EDIT: concerning V8 engines, in could be a 307 Olds.

No one can answer that question without seeing the frame .But get the frame fixed now . The car needs that support to work right.I've seem your type of car come in with no bumper on it .
