what im askin is, if my rear bumper support is bent, does that mean my frame is bent?

OK lemme get serious here instead of joking.......

In all honesty your only gonna tell your frame is bent if you have it checked by a profesional or if your ride is funny.....IE. crabbing, stepping out, a slight side wobble etc.......

but the way your explaining it seems as though your car has been in a minor fender bender type accident that may have pushed your bumper in.....the story will tell underneath other parts of your car.....IE. if you smashed the front end in and bought all new parts such as your bumper cover hood and fenders, you would see the frame damage in the lines of the car.....(The fenders gaps bettween the hood and the hood gaps in the headlights....if its an S14) The car will tell you what wrong with it you just have to look a little deeper into it and possibly under its skin.....

Think of it this way.....If you break your leg you may not know its broke till it starts swelling up (or the imense pain comming from your leg) same with the car but the swelling wont happen till you start pulling sheetmetal further away from the initial hit area.....IE, you could have a smashed front end and no upper siderail damage on the frame but the core support my be pushed in so your hood latch wont work......These are just examples, if your not sure take it to a body shop.......

Hope that helps.....
