oohpapi44 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Has anyone posted an 'after the crash' story, no the crash wasn't something I was involved in. My GS430 was hit on the front left drivers side and the frame was bent and 'straightened' Now there is a sound from the left front well that definitely has something to do with the wheel revolution as you can year the rub (rub speeds up and car speeds up). I've had the rotors shaved, then ordered new ones, brakes and tires (firestone firehawk) are also new. Bearings and wheel hub also seem to be fine. Rims (16' stock chrome) haven't changed. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for to get rid of this rub? I'm going to switch out the spare (alloy) and just test to see if the rim is bent but haven't yet because I figure a bent rim would caught car to shake.

GuyTelefunken Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Put the car on a lift and rotate the tire by hand. If you hear any noise and you can't see any evidence of physical contact, suspect the wheel bearing. If when driving the noise changes or dissappears upon changing steering direction, you can bet on a wheel bearing. Check both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
