See pic. Installed a strut bar infront and to my horror found out that my towers are not aligned at all. Have you seen this before, can it be fixed? Please advice if experienced with this. Thanks so much.

I think you may have frame damage...that's nuts...

Was the car in an accident? How is the alignment? I'd look closely for other signs of repair.

It was hit in front but not big enough for frame damage. Question is. Can this be repaired?

To move a strut tower that much would be such a huge impact that the car should be totaled and not worth the time/$$ to repair. Plus the sheet metal in that area would be rippled/wavy from the stress. I can't see too much in the picture. Are the brackets on the strut bar crooked?

They are a bit crooked. the right side tower is lower than the left, making my springs uneven, the reason i got adjustable lowering springs, so i could match it. Will this take too much work to match the towers? should I go to a collision expert for cars? Its really disheartening after spending much time and money just to find out that its like this. Sad I hope there is an easy remedy for it.

Can you adjust the endlinks on the strut bar? I know on some, you can adjust it.
