There is a possibility that whatever is causing the new rear steer could totally let go at any time. As for insurance covering it. Some places allow road claims against the state or province but do not hold your breath. If you had collision or comprehensive on your car you might get it covered as well. Also there might not be much really wrong and not very expensive to repair. If I remember right when you ran over the deer it is a comprehensive claim with no deductable. How did you miss seeing the deer you ran over anyways? Or was it just unavoidable? The nice way insurance companys treat people in general have made them open season to some of us extremely satisfied claim filers. They have become far too creative in trying to lay it back on their customers. Poetic justice?

He didn't run over a deer, he swerved to avoid a car coming at him with a cell phone driver in it.

He then went through some huge potholes on the side of the freeway, damaging his car's rear suspension.
Deer don't hurt these cars anyways, I ran clear over a big deer corpse in the middle of the freeway a few weeks ago. I was changing lanes at night to pass a semi, and as I was going across the lanes, all the sudden, deer corpse....thump thump on the passenger side, and that was that. Passenger side wheels went right over him, dead center.

This was at about 75mph! I barely felt it! I had blood splatter and guts on my car though, and it smelled gross.

Actual damage was 0 thankfully.
