While doing the st200 rear strut bar install on my car saturday, racerx noticed something that I had not noticed before. Apparently when my snow tires were put on the shop used floor jacks instead of a lift to raise the car and bent my rear control arms. Below are pictures of what happened. All this time, I thought it was the snow tires causing the rear end to be unstable and the alignment being off. I thought with the old tires being almost bald, I must not have noticed the problem as bad. I guess I was wrong. I know for a fact my car was on jacks, I asked to go see it in the garage while the tires were off to inspect my brakes. The problem is, how do I get the shop to take responsibility for what they did? I very well could have done this myself and i'm just trying to blame it on someone...i know this is what they will try and claim. I never have jacked up my own car, and when the resonator delete was done it was a lift that you drive up on, not the kind you drive over top of then pull out and line up.
I have my receipt, and I have pictures....but it's been almost a month now. Anyone have any advice to me for getting this fixed by the shop that did it? Also, lets say I get new control arms....are there better bushings I can have installed on them while they are off?
thanks,
