Not sure if right place for this but had an uh oh!!!
Friday, February 02, 2007 12:14 PM
Hit some ice on my road and jacked a curb and this is the aftermath...


and this is the back of the wheel with the hub still attached

wheel was sittin next to the car when i got out and my first thoughts were that i just snapped the hub. i have not had the chance to get it up and yank everything apart to see what is really broken but i hope it is just the hub assembly any thoughts?

well the hub is @!#$, there is fluid there which means you rprolly blew out a wheel cylinder (for the rear brakes) over all it doesn't look to bad

yea i was lucky that it wasnt worse the hardest part was getting the hub bolts off...ended up having to grind them off and will have to go new nuts and bolts...do auto parts store have replacement ones or should i just go to a hardware store?

Next time, use a good impact driver on those hub bolts. The stupid torx bolts are way too easy to strip. I ended up replacing most of mine with regular hex head bolts.

Also adjusting your AGX's might be a little bit an easier if you turned the knob to the inside. At least in my opinion.

You might have bent the brake assembly when the wheel came off. If either the drum or the assembly behind it is out of round, that might account for the noise. Check if there's a lot of heat buildup after driving around.
