Thanks for the reply. I will have someone check it out.

But just to get some idea ob what are likely culprits before I give to a mechanic for inspection (mind you for those reading this - I'm quite ignorant on this topic), let me think out loud:

1) I drove it this way for probably 5 miles or so ...

Thank you very much!

There will be a claim involved. I asked the counterparty to reach out to me to consider working something out outside of the scope of our insurances. So far no contact and we're on the 3rd day post accident. Therefore im assuming he made his decision, and will be filing the ...

So as i stated in an earlier post i was side - swiped with impact on the rear drivers door and dragged a bit (maybe 5 feet or so). Broke the axle, replaced, now good as new.

However what i didnt notice (probably because i was furious regarding the accident - both of our faults) after getting the ...

Eddystone, at least my subconscious thieving instincts choose, as you say, the best eh?.Lol.

Thanks scot, erik, and abscate. It was indeed the axle with the lower control arm being ok fortunately. Replacement and she's good as new (almost, but im going to generate a second thread for that).

Goodness you're 100 percent correct and I just realized that. I wasnt trying to take credit for your input erikv. I'm chronically sleep deprived and its been a really trying day, so im not exactly thinking as clearly as I otherwise would.

Thanks for the replies.

Absolutely no visible fender damage or wheel damage of any kind.

Hey here's a thought to add to your thoughts. Is it likely the damage wasnt impact damage but "dragging" damage? When my car was dragged the short distance it was (and keep in mind it was dragged in a ...

So at fairly low speed (5-10mph) i was side swiped by a CRV. It left a healthy dent in the rear drivers side door, and pushed my wagon a short distance before stopping (5 or so feet probably).

My vehicle cranks, starts, and shifts just fine as far as i can tell, yet when i shift from park to other ...

Just an update in case this thread helps anyone.

I read and erased the transmission codes via my 95 Turbo obd1 code station under the hood, cleaned the positive and negative batter wires with dilute water and backing soda, and tightened them on nice and snug --> and it fixed the problem. So in my ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely look into both possibilities.

I forgot to mention that I had my mechanic replace the pcv system (i wish i had the time to do it myself, but alas i do not) about a month ago. I've read here that a bad TPS connection can trigger the dreaded flashing arrow ...

The other day my 1995 850 Auto trans had symptoms of a low charge on the battery - no crank, dim lights, etc. No flashing arrow light on the dash.

Took the battery to AutoZone. Diagnosed as bad, and replaced under warranty.

Installed new battery and noticed the dreaded flashing arrow. The car ...
