    please someone help

    Been trying to get my front end aligned, only to find out my frame was twisted very badly, from an accident or something by the previous owner. After getting the frame straightened (hopefully it is now), now my right front suspension is not working. It is very stiff with little to no movement. Either my shock is stuck, or my strut is shot, and this makes it difficult, near impossible, to align correctly. All this because the previous owner, who had to have been a girl because there were gay little stickers on the rearview mirror, and because the car showed signs of neglect. ANGER.

    I'm wondering though, what the problem with the suspension is. Could it be a shock gone bad? I've tried to see it if it will loosen up, but am not counting on it. Or is it a strut? I just completely at a lost, and angry, because I'm pretty sure i'll be replacing something, and that it will be expensive. Any insight as to what might have happened, and what may need to be fixed/replaced will be greatly appreciated.

    always buy a car with records.

    I have seen front struts seize before. Its rare, but I've seen it.

    Try going over some nasty bumps, see if it jars it free. Worth a try?
