I think drivers weight, battery, and steering gear when in the old roads hitting bumps with the wheels would put pressure on the frame. But who knows for sure. I will say out of the 25 A's I have owned most were bent on the driver side. I had one 30 town sedan with 85,000 that was not bent. I though it lived in town and was not on that many rough roads.
