Hi All!
I have a 2020 Ram 1500, that was in an accident is just returning from the body shop. During the accident my wife hydroplaned and struck a jersey barrier with the front driver side tire and to a lesser extent the bumper (minor body damage) The force of the tire impacting the barrier was enough to crack the radiator, and damage the suspension, steering track, etc. while doing relatively minor exterior damage. There was minor frame damage that the shop claims to have corrected as well.
The body shop is telling me the thrust angle cannot be corrected and this is a common issue on Ram 1500's. Is this an acceptable thrust angle? Does it pose any safety risks beyond unusual tire wear? Photos attached.
Thanks in advance!
