Bent Wheel Cradle

Anyone know if the driver's side wheel cradle from a 1991 Cutlass Supreme Convertible is the same as one in a 1993 Cutlass Supreme Convertible? Some of the exterior body panels of the cars are different, but I'm hoping that the frame is the same. Thanks.

Car pulls slightly to the left. Went to have car aligned and the mechanic said it can't be aligned correctly because it has a bad wheel cradle on the driver's side. They said I would have to have a body shop replace it. I called a body shop and they they can do it, but they want big bucks to do it. The part may be called something else- I'm just going by what the mechanic and body shop called it.

doubt it. He prolly just needs a simple cradle shift to bring camber and caster into spec. The cradle has movement on the bushings and with old bushings once good pothole and wham, it shits and you end up with a camber and/or caster pull.

 

of course this is assuming he doesn't have bent parts, which will show up with a serperation or around 1.5 degrees (roughly the amount that will fuck up scrub radius and cause a pull and stability issues on our cars) of SAI/Include Angle.

Car had slid into a ditch on the driver's side. The driver's side tire rubs the inner fenderwell sometimes when turning to the right while backing up. I took it to two different alignment shops and neither could align it right. One of the shops tried to align it two different times.
