Driver side bracket on Front rail

Notice that the bracket is titled at a 45% angle. It should be sitting vertically. The bolts that attach to the rail are still there and have ripped through the webbing of the rail. The bottom of this bracket is where the impact with the road occurred.

Driver side front rail - damaged

Notice the wrinkle where the rail folded in near the radiator. Also note that the metal bracket behind the header is slanted and has pinched the lower AC line. The next picture will show you what position the bracket should be in.

Notice that the header of the driver side rail is sitting lower than the passenger side rail header. Also note that the top of the frame is twisted backwards.
