When my wife and I got married, she had a Kia Sportage.
She got rear-ended, insurance sent her to the Kia dealership, they fixed it but there was a very annoying crunching squeak. Took it back, the body dept refused to even look at it, said it would have to go to the mechanic shop, no warranty. After several attempts we gave up and let it squeak.
A few months later, it got rear-ended again, worse this time. Insurance sent it to an independent shop. They did a beautiful job, and whatever was squeaking was gone!
The morning I picked it up, I noticed the piston slap cold engine knock was getting worse. I left the body shop that was on the freeway frontage road, and was up to freeway speed before the engine was fully warm. Suddenly the knock got much worse, scary worse! Then it was gone! Completely went away and never returned...
Must have been carbon on a piston, whatever it was it never came back!
About the getting rear-ended, I don't know what it was about that car, but for whatever reason, it was a tail-gater magnet! I could be running 90, a speck on the horizon, and somebody would find it necessary to come up from behind and see just how close they could follow! Had multiple close calls and several minor rear end bumps, then the 2 major hits.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
