Did the police show up? I have found for minor accidents they don’t show, just say to exchange info. That can quickly fuck you. Tell the dispatcher that the other driver smells intoxicated to get ISP on the scene.
Oh shit. Allstate. You are not in good hands with them. The g/f got rear ended by someone with Allstate. Took three weeks for just a bumper cover and had to fight them about it. Fuuuuuuuck them.
there are places out there that insure drivers with no license. you are insuring the car, not the driver.
i got fucked by a guy that "had insurance" his policy lapsed 3 days before the accident due to non payment. his insurance refused to reimburse my insurance. I'm out $500.00 he then pays up on his policy and gets his car fixed. been ~5 years, still out my deductible. even went to court to show proof he had no coverage at time of accident, they didn't care.
I'm glad that is out there (insuring the car, not the driver) but they shouldn't have been driving, period. You lose your license and need to work, get a hardship license. Granted with the covid shit you'd probably have to wait in line for like a week. If you're driving without a license you should be the most polite fuck out there driving defensively 110%....
I noticed a vibration driving my LBZ up to our cabin in northern Minnesotaon Sunday.
It came on about 70 and went away about 75 and a little strange tire wear on the driver's front tire.
I figured I'd get it checked out as it's a 400 mile drive home and don't want to have issues.
Took it to a local shop with lots of good reviews figuring on maybe a wheel bearing or tie rod end.
They just called and said it needs ball joints, center link, tie rod ends, etc...to the tune of $2500.
Fuck that I'll drive it home and put Kryptonite shit under it for that money.
The truck only has 70k on it, I don't see how everything is toast. I don't sled pull or drag it, maybe a few drunk burnouts but that's it.
Maybe I'll get a second opinion.

I had a similar issue with my Silverado. Started about 70 and got worse as I went faster, but would graduate get better then worse then better, etc.
All wheels/tires were balanced, driveshaft checked out okay. Front rotors were true.
Lower ball joints were somewhat worn, but not serious or critical. Replaced just those, and only those and it went away. There was no evidence of uneven tire wear.
I think these are better just because they are so much worse.I'vvvee got something for you...
Good call, I'll give that a shot and see where it gets me.
The truck drives fine, steering isn't sloppy af or anything...Thanks dude!
My boy just did a 2018 with 30k.
Shit was fucking wreckt.
I'm sure not EVERYTHING is toast with yours, but whose Gunna quote one ball joint per side, one tie rod, etc... They probably throwing the book at it
Fuck man.
Yeah that makes sense, I don't blame them.
I'm just hoping it makes it home 400 miles and I'll figure it out this fall.
Did you put stock shit on your boys or aftermarket stuff?
The thing is tie rods, rod ends and ball joints are kinda small ot at least smaller than they should be for a truck.
I seem to recall, most GM IFS front tie rods are 14mm or 15mm. 20mm to 25mm would be much beefier.
