Urgent Subaru help needed

[sciroccos at earthlink.net (Jim R)]

I'm pretty sure this is not going to go very well.  I have a call into a
person at Allstate, who has not yet returned my call.  The way I see it,
getting the rear back in line is a "supplemental" repair and could be
treated as such.  There's no reason why they can't cover at least the
alignment/straightening or whatever it turns out to be.

I don't expect they'll cover the tire, which is unfortunate.  The premature
wear (down to the belts on the inside after 18,000 miles or so.

I'm getting (2) new tires for her this week and rotating the old fronts to
the rear, but I have to get is fixed before she puts many miles on it and
starts to wreck another tire.
