so... my car ('04 S60 2.5T AWD)got hit by a rogue taxi driver who, apparently, didn't know how to reverse without smashing into things (namely my car)... the real kicker is that i was in the taxi when he went straight into the left front tire and did a number on the car.

I had to get the front fender fixed & repainted, the strut replaced and something else whichi cant seem to find the word for right now (can't remember)... but suffice it to say it was almost $2000 of damage

Now, (unsure if this may be related) but it seems that the car vibrates... particlarly at 120km/h and up... any insight as to the possible problems, suggestions you might havewould be appreciated

thanks

 

Not sure what the vibration might be but I would take it back to whoever did the work and have them drive it. Don't do a final settlement with the insurance company until you are happy with the repair.

 

bent rim?

 

possibly, going to go see if the wheels need to be balanced... but, off topic, there's also a ticking sound coming from the passenger side of the dashboard, which goes away when the blower is turned on.. anyone heard anything like this?

 

Hi erriversable,
Have u timed the tick sound when it comes on ? Like every 9-10 seconds ?

 

yea that sounds about right... i usually just turn the fan on to get rid of it
