Got my car back today...

Well today i got my car back from the shop. I just hadda pay my $50 decutable good deal!! then some other guy comes out and told me i have to pay $128 because they had to tow my car... i was pissed about that but i paid it, im going to my insurance later to see if i can get my money back because i have towing on my insurance. Its running really good now. No clunking or nothing in the rear.

Here is all that was wrong with it well this is what they wrote on the service paper thingy:

" Customer states vehicle has drive line problem possible differential. Found center pin failure in rear. took side spiders carrier ring and pinion gears etc. swapped rear housing with internals only. swapped customers sway bar bushings links rotors e shoes calipers crossover hard line etc. dropped rear cover and inspected ok. Reassembled with new fluid, cover gasket. Bled brakes"

Total parts: $449.05
Total labor: $125.00
I paid: $50.00

lol...thats a good deal tho, if u don't notice a huge difference in acceleration they probably didn't change the ratio much cause normally u really notice a gear change

the easy way to check is see if your speedo is still right, if the ratio in the rear changed and they didn't do anything for teh speedo it will be off
