Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If the rear frame of your 2024 Jeep Wrangler has a slight bend from being hit at the tow hook, it’s definitely something to approach with caution. The good news is that small frame damages can often be repaired by a skilled shop using a frame straightening machine, which restores the frame to its original shape with precise measurements. However, you’re right to be concerned about the long-term integrity. While high-strength steel can sometimes lose some of its original structural integrity after a repair, the impact on safety depends on how severe the damage is and the quality of the repair. For a vehicle like a Wrangler, which is designed to handle rugged conditions, even small frame damage could affect off-road performance and safety in future collisions. If the frame damage is minor and doesn’t affect critical attachment points (like suspension, axles, or body mounts), a proper repair should be fine. But if the structural integrity is compromised, replacing the frame might be the safer choice. I’d recommend having the damage assessed by a reputable collision repair specialist who can give you a clear idea of your options.
