I got t-boned today on my way to work. The other vehicle hit me right on the passengers side wheel, and proceeded to scrape down the entire passenger side.

I'm not too worried about the cosmetic damage, I am more worried about what kind of damage may have been done to the front suspension/axle/steering/brakes/diff. I didn't drive it after, it was put on a flat bed and hauled off. I am worried that the insurance adjuster may just look at the cosmetic damage and think it is repairable without assessing any mechanical damage that may have been done. What should I tell them to look for, besides the obvious (if anything)?

On a positive note, if they total it out i wont have to do the valve cover gaskets now....

2010 L322 RR Supercharged.

I was really starting to like her.....

Thanks.

Sorry to hear. My biggest fear when driving anymore is what are the other drivers doing other than driving. Similar hit occurred with me in a ‘93 LWB. Frame was bent so totaled out. Good luck!
