Default Car accident in my brand new JKU!!!
So I'm driving down the road the other day and a lady pulls out into my lane and nails my rear passenger wheel.

Attachment 293492

Turns out the axle is bent!! I was really PO'd but the good news is her insurance is paying $1250 towards superior 35 spline axle, regear and ARB rear locker and compressor.

A bad situation is actually helping me do some upgrades.

Thanks horrible drivers!

The axle shaft or the axle housing is bent? Make sure to take thorough look at housing too

Yeah it would of been nice if the entire rear axle was destroyed

The insurance appraiser was kind of a stickler.
