Another MP3 in the shop...

About 3 weeks ago I'm leaving work only to find that some A$$ in my office complex had nailed my MP3 in the left qtr panel. Did $700 worth of body damaged and major mechanical damage almost $2000... Bent the whole freaking left rear suspension... I'm talking control arm, shock, strut, spindle, subframe, the whole 9. I got it back yesterday, and the first thing I notice is a clicking noise whenever I brake and am coming to a stop (frequency of clicking decreases with speed). Then this morning, on my way to work, another noise started to develop. Sounded like everytime I hit even the smallest bump like my whole wheel (rim and all) was knocking against something (like a sound a loose manhole makes when you drive over it... deep hollow metallic sound). I'm gonna take it back to the shop, but before I do I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what the problem might be at this point. Ideas?
 
I took it back to a mazda dealership and they jerked me around for 3 weeks about parts and labor, blah blah blah.... turns out they hadn't ordered the parts after 2 weeks (had a friend call posing as a lawyer from a very prominent law-firm in the area to scare the crap out of them hehe) so i took it to a local mechanic who works on my mom's acura.... obviously doesn't know mazda's as well as he knows acura's ::sighs:: :(
 
damn that sux, sorry to hear about your trouble Steve. Ive had no problems with my dealership
 
Dude my friend got in big trouble for doing that. (LAWYER DEAL)
the only thing that you can lie about with out getting in trouble is better business bruea. send e-mails saying that you called them.
 
a good family friend is actually one of the partners in the firm so i'm not really too worried about getting in trouble about that ;) But i do want my car fixed! ahhh... we'll see what happens... I'll keep you posted...
 
That sucks. All this BS and it's not even your fault you got hit...dammit.

Hey, BTW, where in NJ are you? I'm having a Lan Party this weekend if you wanna come by...I'm in Galloway, NJ...
