Volvo: Volvo trunk, rear quarters, fuse box


Question
I drive a Volvo S60.  I was rear-ended in a car accident.  Besides the bumper, about what other parts should I be concerned in having repairs made?  I know the battery is in the trunk.  What other mechanisms are located in the trunk?  Should I have the car aligned?  What about the transmission?

Answer
Veda,
Make sure that you check the bumper bar and the attaching parts to the frame. Behind the left panel in the trunk is a fuse box (rear electrical module). Tail lights, deck lid, both rear quarters (fenders). Look under the car for dents and at the suspension. If any suspension parts are replace align the car. How is the trans shifting? If not well make a note of that with your insurance company for future problems.
