I don't think the lift had anything to do with it.
The visible front fender damage shown in the pics is not as scary as the clues to suspension and structure damage. It was also stated that the hood and windshield were cracked even though they did not receive a direct impact. He also said that the rear wheels are not strait. Sounds like the whole car got tweaked.
With the oil drain under the front to break the fall and God knows what else (isn't the floor fiberglass) the rear might have actually hit harder.
I agree. The car was probably not on the lift correctly. Either that or they ran another vehicle into it bumping it off.Mitzelj said:I suspect what happened is that the lift arms were to far forward and car slid forward, jamming the arms up through the fender wells and the front half of the car smacked the ground or the oil drum he mentioned. I'd really like to see the underside of the car. I'd be after a complete total. Good luck. Jeff
