Follow up on my TL's curb accident :)
The insurance company checked out the car a few weeks ago (about a month), stated that it was the suspension and not the frame or sub frame. The car was repaired and still gave problems after that (harsh, noisy, pulling to the right, etc).
So, i brought my car back to the repair shop and low and behold, they found sub frame damage!
Back to the insurance guy then.. After some amounts of *****ing, the car was taken to a bigger shop (grr, 50 miles away) and they found out the following:
- Engine cradle/sub frame has been pushed up
- Two liquid style engine mounts busted (stuck in the up position)
- Splash protectors under the engine completely destroyed
- Power steering damaged (no wonder my TL wanted to go around turns by itself)
- Balance weight on right front wheel busted
- And they'll probably run into more stuff.
Already repaired:
- Driver seat wobbly (track bend by jolt)
- New tires on the front
- Suspension re-aligned and repaired
- Fuel gauge sensor in tank replaced (god knows how that broke)
Well, i am out of a car again for a week... sigh..
