Ok....sometime last year....or maybe the year before, I had an accident. Hydroplaned head on into a high curb. Kicked the front suspension back into the frame...tore up a lot of stuff. So after the initial repairs, I had it back and forth probably a dozen times pointing out stuff that wasnt fixed due to half-assdedness. (We all know the dealer can't get sh*t right on the first try.) All the while, I keep hearing this juggling noise in my suspension. I take it back, they fix something, the sound is still there, I take it back they fix something, the sound is still there. On and on. My insurance company tells me that they and the dealer, and other mechanics cannot find the source of the problem and that there is nothing they can do. This is bulls*** of course. Then my insurance rep tells me if I can find a mechanic that can locate the source of the problem then they will proceed. Well to make a long story short...turns out it is something called a Carrier Bearing in side of the tranny...and I KNOW its bad due to the accident. One of the mechanics told me that this was the source but I didnt buy it becasue he said is was due to wear and tear. The car is only 5 years old! bulls***....its because of the accident, because I started hearing noise right after i got my car back from the dealer after the initial visit. So....what do I do now? Talk to my insurance rep and make him get it fixed? But a new tranny for $700 and put it in myself, or can this bearing be replaced within a reasonable amount of money? It's leaking but not that bad. I have already replaced one output bearing seal so far. That slowed it down, but it's starting to leak more again. Help!
