Help! something's wrong with my car

[Dan06GT]

I hit a curb today on my left rear side and since then, I've noticed my spare tire had a slight unevenness to its rotation... so i took it off and put it in drive again and noticed behind the rotor, the hub or whatever that connects to the axle has an unevenness now, too. Can anyone tell me what i could do to fix it?

You probably bent the axle.

Yep. Unfortunately I think the gentlman is correct.

Atleast now you have a good reason to upgrade to 31 spline axles

31 spline axles are stock. But it would be a good reason to change the gears.

Could be lots of things, take it in and have a shop look at it. If somethings bent like a rotor, wheel stud, axle, anything it will be hell on your tires and cause other problems.

I looked at all that, today.. The rotor seems to turn true. The only thing is it has the slightest wobble...like real little. It can be noticed by looking at the caliper or the axle itself. I hope I'll be ok for the time being.

Not to mention the dif...

Good call. Take it to a professional and get a clear idea of what is going on.

If you cannot say with absolute certainty that you know what it is, take it to a pro. That way its their ass if they miss something too and you dont tear anything up because you missed something.

Well, sure enough it was the axle being bent... and by only thousandths of an inch, i'm sure. I couldnt even find exactly where but the problem is gone now. Now, Im still waiting on my damn wheel to get here so i can take this noisy donut off the left rear. Its drivin me nuts!
