Homemade tool
A few years ago someone designed a tool for straightening a collapsed front cross member. Does anyone know where that homemade tool ended up and whether or not a person could borrow it? In lieu of that, maybe someone has the instructions on how to make one of these tools. Mine is collapsed because I didn't know any better than to jack it up on the front end using the cross member. Thanks.

I have one that I'd be happy to loan you. It's been used by many members here for about 15 years. It is currently with another member. Let me contact him to see if he's finished with it.
Oh, by the way, the tool is not home made. I purchased it online.
Cheers, Greg
