Just my luck :(

Drove over a pothole today, and heard a bang from the right side. A knocking noise started as soon as that happened. After I took it into my mechanics shop, we found out that a shaft ( a CV shaft or something like that) to the right front wheel is broken. Then went to take the car to Porsche, but them being busy cannot see the car before monday.
Any idea if such a thing would be covered under warranty, and if not any idea how much damage this would make on my wallet?
What a way to end a week...I need a drink

Did you bring your car to Pfaff? hope they can cover it under warranty. Just wondering any of your wheels bend from the hit?

if the warranty doesnt cover then your insurance will cover. A friend of mine had this before and his auto insurance paid for the repair.

I live in downtown, and did not want to drive the car all the way to Pfaff, so sent it to Downtown Porsche. Thankfully no wheel was damaged.

Thanks for the input guys!
