Okay, here is the situation. I spun out on snow the other day and hit a curb. I filed a claim and took it into a body shop for a quote. Here is what they told me I needed:
Wheels
Tires
Rotor
Pan Hard Bar
I figure, no problem, I'll buy all that stuff myself. So I cash settled and place an order for new wheels.
Now, I get home, take off the old broke wheels, and I find the rear axle is bent.
My question is twofold.
One: Anyone know a good place to get a new stock rear axle?
Two: Anyone have advice on how I can/should approuch my insurance about the bad quote? What if the whole rear axle assembly needs to be replaced? Am I stuck with the bill?
Here are two photos to illustrate the problem. The first is my driver side axle which seems to be fine.
The second is my passenger side axle which is clearly bent. You cant really tell in the photo, but if you spin it, the space between axle and axle shaft wobbles between zero and 2mm. It is also and leaking some sort of oil out of a nearbye nipple. Which actually brings up a third question, what is nipple and how to I fix it?
