My son recently had a front collision which required replacement of the front right tie rod, tie rod end, control arm, ball joint, and swaybar link on his 2002 Neon. Subsequently, he had the car serviced and was told that the right cv boot was torn and needed replaced. He had that done, but the question is, with that much front suspension replacement, wouldn't the boot have been replaced during the original repair? Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Well...the insurance adjuster and body shop might, if the repair shop will attest to the fact that this could have been unseen damage, go ask the shop, get the letter, or contact info, then call the adjuster.
