well there is a tool to do it, but only audio shops have it like the custom audio shops that sell wheels and junk but iv heard baseball bats work just as good

well i think it's the same thing and it worked on my mustang you can buy this tool and it will make the job much easier. u can buy the tool or u can go to his shop and he will charge you to do it.

if u do it yourself all you do is use the tool to roll up the fender until the tool can't anymore and u use one of those rubber hammer things to finish up the job.

you don't need a special tool. use a heat gun or a strong blow dryer and a baseball bat or better a rubber mallet. use the heat to soften things up and than whack it into shape. don't heat it to much or it will warp or melt.

if you want a real fix replace your struts with something stiffer like koni's or illuminas. what you really need is stiffer springs but that'll hurt your ass and no body seems to like them (H&R's). so replacing your struts with something stiffer or something with less travel would be nice. those springs are so low that you would bottom out on aftermarket struts.
