So 2 weeks ago I bought a 2007 WH GC 5.7L Limited.
I was just about to hit the go button on: lift, tyres, bullbar, etc.
I was having a lovely time, window down, hemi burbling away and then bam!
Someone ran up the back of me at a set of stopped lights, saw it coming and
couldn't do a thing, wasn't first in line, had I been I probably would have just
run the red light.
Anyway some photos.
So the damage to the body work is minimal (on my Jeep lol), new tailgate
and new bumper pretty straight forward relatively speaking. It has already
been assessed by the panel shop and just waiting on insurance approval.
But what has got me worried is that the rear left hand side sub chassis rail
has moved. It took most of the hit. The right hand side hardly got a scratch.
Here are some more pics.
The panel shop did not pick up on this. Maybe I should be going to a different
repairer... as far I can tell there are no other wrinkles in any other panels or
chassis components. In every other aspect the car is clean and straight as an
arrow.
The end result is it will have bumped the panhard rod forward by a few mm.
Should I be worried about this or not?
