    hi i have a 01 fiat punto and was in a crash, they replaced it and now after driving it for a few days its cocked on me after clicking noises in the back. the rear axle , wheel, bumper were replaced. i'm now worried the car is damaged even from replacing, should this have been a right off?

    Go find out what the knock is before jumping to conclusions. Could be anything.

    No need for panic till you find out what's actually wrong.

    Then come back here and let us know. I hate half a story

    i know a gut who is a mecanic and he was surprised they had replaced a broken axle and wasnt surprisd it was still funny. he would have thought it should have been a right off for a snapped axle, thats why i was asking

    the rear bushings are a common fault on them and it causes a knocking noise, get someone to check that out before ya put it off as damage from the crash.,
