Well, it's been nearly 10 months since my accident (smacked a pothole, tore the engine crossmember back 3") and we're STILL having problems with the insurance company. This time, we found out that the Chevy people who did the work did not put the rubber piece that's attached to the crossmember and sits under the oil pan on (pictures: 1, 2). The people at the shop the car's at now say it's not important and consequently the insurance company will not pay for the part or the work. So, I was hoping a couple of you great Brickboarders could scribble something out about why it should be replaced to get the insurance people to believe us rather than the morons that are doing the work. Thanks a bunch.
