Peel the liner back off of the left side of the trunk and look at your shock mount. I can't picture a whack that would bend the frame without first blowing out a tire and damaging the wheel. Everything but the top shock mount is attached to the sub-frame.

nothing to worry about, i have the same issue! two spots on my driver side quarter panel, basically the same spot. havent taken it to a PDR guy/gal yet

I'm going to go with the leaning theory. My car has a small ding in practically every panel. I plan to get a PDR guy next year that charges normal rate for the first dent and a fraction of the amount for each additional. I am hoping to get away not far off of $200.

One day a buddy came over and as we were talking on the driveway I realized that leaning on my wife's RAV4 the door panel was just on the cusp of being dented. Didn't take much.

Those look like warps O.o the paint is too clean to gotten hit from anything bare solid, so might of been in the sun too long or someone is leaning on your car while it's hot lol

I lean against those fenders all the time and have never bent mine in, I guess I'm just a little more careful about it. I never lean on it while its hot though because it burns me.

To me those ripples look like somebody came by and decided to kick that panel or some other act of vandalism. Had it happen too many times already on my car.

It's hard to imagine someone purposely kicking it but leaving such light dents thats almost undetectable. Besides if you're leaning on it I'd imagine you wear pants lol so you might not feel the heat. Either way just look out and you'll narrow it down

I'd guess leaning as well. The panels dent really easy from hand, elbow or knee pressure.

That is no joke. If you're in the country these things will peck anything they take a shine to, and the shinier, the more likely they'll peck 'er.

My guess is you also live out in the country.

Why is everyone saying leaning and ignoring that he said his suspension noticeably is lower on that corner?

turtlefeeder · 11-04-2016, 12:13 AM

Okay what causes lower suspension and slight dents without any scratches on the area?

Blown shock violently bottoming out and tweaking the rear frame? I don't fucking know!
