Hi,

In the recent cold weather I hit a kerb sidewards with my drivers side rear wheel (at a slow speed).

This bent the hub making the wheel sit at a weird angle!! I have just replaced the hub and it looks virtually spot on, but I have noticed it still sits with a slight angle. I have replaced the alloy wheel and I have a good look round as the hub was replaced but cannot work out why the wheel is not sitting in its correct position.

Many thanks for your advice chaps.

You didn't bend the hub, you bent the lateral links ?

Did you get the geometry set-up again after fitting ?

You really need laser alignment gear to tell what's out of position.

HTH

dunx

 

The hub prob did bend too, from my experience they bend real easy, but i guess you need a weak link.
My mate has done 2 now, with barely a mark on his alloys.......

 

When the hub was replaced I could see the old one definately had a crease in it. Thanks for the advice I'm gonna book it in for a full geometry check.
