Robert -

Hope you got the other guy's stuff, he should pay for all of it. Check to see if the rear bumper was moved in at all, it may have moved back out. Look from under the rear for changes in dirt on the brackets.

Also have the motor and transmission mounts checked. Consider the inertia of the engine/trans mass. Slamming the body forward when all that mass wants to stay put will damage or break the mounts. Watch the gear shift handle for sideways motion under changing load conditions, like right after an upshift or a downshift. Another check is to feel - engine cold -under the oil filter for space between it and the right motor mount. The car will keep running even if the filter is actually resting on the mount, there should be an inch or so clearance.

Get it checked soon, if the mounts are out of line it can cause damage to drive line parts like U-jounts, center bearing mount, and trans tailshaft seal and bushing.

Good Luck,

Bob
