rxleone Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hey guys, went wheeling the other day (well more like fieldthrashing/4wd drifting:D) and was basically hydroplaning down this muddy as hell road when I got drifted right into a bank! Stupid stupid idea that was I tell ya :-\ Hit it front on, picked the car up on the two left hand wheels and basically turned it around. Now whenever I turn right my left wheel sounds like its scraping against something. Metal-on-metal kind of sound... I jacked it up and inspected for damage, but can't see anything. I have a gut feeling that I may have done a wheel bearing, but it seems to drive fine and theres no more play or noise then normal(for a 220,000km vehicle) Anyone ever done anything similar and had this happen? It's a 1989 DL wagon, EA82 Carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Inner Wheel Bearings. IMHO. I have the same issue. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 i would agree, you will get the edge of the rotor scraping along the caliper bracket. let it go long enough, you will get a rolling drag and the brake pads will wear diagonally. i left mine go to the point of undriveability, and when i removed the bearings, the inner one had a busted race and chunks floating around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagarus Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 i believe i have the exact same issue from the same wheel lol. Wondering, will an alignment be necessary if you change out the wheel bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
