Help me make sense of this frame diagnostic report

[username.jpeg]

I posted previously about my unfortunate accident where my truck was hit while parked. I’m being royally screwed for sure, but they recently measured the frame and sent me this report saying all is copacetic and within manufacturer specs.

My uneducated take is that the left rear side is clearly pushed in by a few mm. The right is clearly pushed out, meaning sway damage. It seems like there’s a little mash too. Is the degree of these just too low to worry about? Would alignment changes not have to be more pronounced to mask the frame distortions? How well could that bandaid correct for the frame misalignment? Anybody with any experience with this would be greatly appreciated.

The report was done by the collision shop. The title of the report is “Car-O-Liner Vision2 X3 Lower body Diagnose Report” if that helps any

Hopefully somebody with collision experience can chime in for you. I tried searching around and the best I got was a couple generic references that +/- 3mm was considered within spec but I agree it appears to show it pushed in from rear left to rear right pushing out.

What I do not understand why there is a few points were data is shown on one side but not the other and conveniently the missing side is the right side?

I appreciate the attempt. That’s the same thing I saw and the shop told me as much. In a vacuum, point R25 exceeds that. I’m not sure if it’s irrelevant though because the corresponding left point is pushed over too. I’ve also read that although 3mm is the general tolerance, it’d obviously be better if it wasn’t there at all.

I’ve already resigned to dump it, but I want to make sure I have no liabilities when I do so, meaning that I’m going to get absolutely raked over the coals on trade in value.

I doubt even new frames are dead nuts zero on measurement, hence the tolerance +/-.
