I'd just take a walk around the flat
I drove my open header REPU up the flatbed and held it. I felt it being cinched down on the right then to the left. OK you can get out now.
I thought I'd take a walk around the flatbed just to see how my baby was drawn down. Well, this big giant of a tow hook was wrapped around the right hand TIE-ROD and lower control arm both. The good part of the story is he didn't drive all 8 miles to the FAB/Muffler shop that way.
Visibly I couldn't see any bent parts but now I have a small bit of pull to the right. I'm hoping I can realign it and keep it simple........ just venting .

Thanks everyone,
These things happen. I got a discounted quote to begin with and as it turned out I was somewhat short of cash for the flat bed "ride" and the driver accepted what I had. Since I didn't see any obvious bend I decided to take my chances.
repumax quote , Maybe just get her aligned.
I agree, I think that will do it.
