so i recently bought a s13 on the cheap, with plans of just makin it a daily for me to get back an forth to work reliably. so i go to replace the bent ass tension rod an bolt the rear of it up first, an the front where it bolts up right under the radiator has been pushed back about 3 inches. it doesn't seem bent, just broke the welds away from the frame.

so the question is, can i just pull this out, weld it back up, an be good?? im going to try this route anyways, just wanting some piece of mind that this will be alright. also how would i know if my frame is bad, bent or tweaked??
