poss bent axle?
 
the guy i bought my wagon off told me that he had clobbered a kerb quite hard,the wheel has a slight wobble but i think its more than a twisted alloy,i dont know how the rear suspension/axle set up is put together so if the axle is bent will i have to change the whole lot or can i remove the rear hub assembly independantly:wonder:

I would put money on bent hub, and strut. They are not very strong, an impact large enough to bend a wheel wont do them any favours...................

sounds like a fairly easy job? plenty of hubs on ebay,ill get a strut as well and change that while im doing the hub;)

hit a kerb with my old leggy .alloy was ok but bent the hub just below the two bolt strut fixing but (big but)also bent the rear subframe on the flat metal from the arm mounts inwards .i put the car o axle stands and got under with a torch and compaired side to side. good luck, jhp on ebay do stuff like that cheap regards Dom
