moncur_6 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Alright, so my car as been through a hell of a last couple weeks. My clutch started slipping so we took it to the shop. New clutch, new flywheel...that didn't work, break open the case, replace bearings...worked...for a minute. APPARENTLY the dealer took my car out for a drive to make sure my transmission is good and now they are telling me that my rear axle and differential need to be replaced and it's my fault because of my aftermarket springs. Does that sound right to you guys? I'm not the happiest of poor college students this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConeEluder Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Aftermarket springs cause damage to the rear differential? Take it to a different dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moncur_6 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 If it was drivable I would for sure. I think they were just threatening. Or some shop boys had fun with my new clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 springs dont hurt the diff. have them tell you why the diff needs replacement and have them show you the damage before you agree to any repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moncur_6 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Thanks. What about the rear axle? Could that have been caused by aftermarket springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 no. think about the purpose of the springs. Have them prove to you that the springs caused the diff to go bad. Remember you are innocent until proven guilty. Tell them you can have a lawer argue that their throttle jockeys did something to your car.

moncur_6 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 And that is why this is so weird. I'm going to call them now and see what they have to say about the damage. Thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moncur_6 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 The foreman has ZERO idea what he is talking about. The main issue is that where I'm going to college there isn't a dealer so that they can warranty the work. Apparently, the differential and axle are covered under warranty. My brother is going to check out the car when it gets on a lift this afternoon. If there is anything new to add after my brother talks to the tech who is actually working on it then I'll post it up.
