Car Woes

Well, I spoke too soon. There is something really wrong with the rear end of the Jeep. There is a strange sound when I hit even tiny bumps or potholes in the road. I had a friend sit in the passenger side, and we agree, the sound is in the middle rear, right where the axles go into the differential. Right now, I am waiting for the body shop to get approval from State Farm to get this fixed. I reported it Tuesday morning. Why it is taking so long, I don't know. Last night, I was told I would get a call "first thing in the morning". We'll see.

Update: I spoke with State Farm and the Body Shop, and then took it back to the shop. The rep I have agrees that it is making a noise that it shouldn't, and I am bringing it back tomorrow morning. They are comp'ing me a rental car (I suspect that they know I understand that they should have caught this, and the other minor problems). They should have FULLY evaluated the Jeep in the first place. As a first class repair location, I am very surprised by this negligence, although they appear to be making it right now. State Farm said I have to sign a "Tear Down Authorization", and if it isn't caused by the accident, then they won't pay. Since this started AFTER the accident, I KNOW it is caused by the accident. So far, I haven't had to sign it. At least the shop hasn't asked me to. Perhaps in the morning they will, I don't know.
