Hey guys,
Yesterday while on my way to college I was rear ended in traffic pretty badly, a Chevy Avalanche hit me at about 60km/h while I was at a full stop, needless to say it was a seriously hard hit. My car was the only one that walked away on its own, the Avalanche had its airbags go off and needed a tow truck to leave, and I hit the Suzuki Vitara in front of me because of the hit which also needed a tow truck (thank you, ARB). While I need a new bar, a lot of body work and a couple of minor repairs on the exhaust and gas tank, there was no mechanical damage whatsoever.
However, there is a little detail that is really bugging me: After all was said and done and the authorities cleared the scene, I noticed my seat was not in the tilt position I usually drive in, which is at the most vertical setting before it completely tilts forward. I figured it had moved back with the hit, so I tried to readjust it. It turns out, that this is still the last position before it tilts completely forward, only its noticeably more leaned back. Comparing to the passenger's seat (which is in the same position I drive in), it is two or three notches angled more to the rear. I dont know if im making myself clear due to my shitty english...
What is wrong with the mechanism?? Is it fixable?? Has this happened to anyone before?
Thanks for any input,
Luis.
