Hi,
My Baja got side-swiped by a car coming from the opposite direction about
a month ago. We were each going about 35 mph at the time so it took quite
a whack. It's in the body shop for repairs right now. The problem I'm
having is that there's a slight bump/bonk/clunk that I experience
sometimes just before the car comes to a complete stop. The dealership
has checked it out: 1. they can't reporduce (and neither can I) 2. they've
checked the engine mounts and some other "usual suspects" that might be
affected in Subarus in this type of collision and found nothing.
My Baja is a 2003 with 111,000 miles on it and I'm concerned that after
"everyone's" satisfied that all the necessary repairs are done the problem
will get more serious and the insurance company will give me a hard time
about it being associated since the case is closed (as far as they're
concerned). The car has some considerable mileage on it -- the type of
mileage where people might start to use as an excuse thinking everything
is going to start going wrong on a car anyway. It's been extremely
well-maintained.
Can anyone out there offer some advice on what I might tell them to look
for -- ESPECIALLY possibly something that might be internal and easier to
overlook?
Has anyone else had a similar collision/what damage did you experience?
Thanks in advance for the help.
