Ok so I was turning a corner at a somewhat high speed and my tire blew up and my right rear side of the car hit the sidewalk pretty hard now every time that tire rotates I get a sound of metal rubbing any ideas on what it could be. My rear wheel got bent where the sidewalk hit. and tire gets stuck when I try to spin it.

thanks

 

check mayb your caliper bracket i ran intot his problem on a ponitac at work the other day also check for bent parts take your RR brakes apart and see if it will spin sinc eit gets stuck with every thing on

 

probably bent your rotor

 

 

Thanks justin I took your advice took the thing apart and it was the bent rotor

the part circle in red right?



do you guys know how much this would be a part number would be great

thanks

 

Just get a BBK and be done with it...

 

Here's a link to a page with aftermarket rotors. The second item is stock replacement rear for just $22.55 each. I'd suggest replacing both rears at the same time, especially considering they're so inexpensive.

 

that part you circled IS NOT the brake rotor/disc. That my friend, is the hub.

 

sorry to hear about that man. i wish i could help

 

thanks shupes31. So the hub I hear it goes for up to 120 that blows I wonder how much would at a Yunkyard. Well anyways i'll post back when I manage to fix thanks for all your help

 

yeah the hub isn't cheap at all. at least it's just the rear hub. Since to replace the front hub it requires to take off the front steering knuckle to press the bearing into the hub! In other words, not a at-home job!

Have you tried trdsparks.com? See what price they might get for ya, Ken over there has helped a lot of tC'ers before with deals.

 

hey thanks for the suggestions. I went to a toyota/scion dealer and guess how much is the rear hub $364 incredible. So I am going to go to a Yunkyard and see if its cheaper over there

 

ouch! $364.. just looked up trdsparks, oem parts for the hub, thinking it's the same for all 05-09. they wanted $283.

you're right, check out a junkyard. car-part.com is a good site to find out what's out there. some places even give you warranty for 90 days. I got a car stereo for another car from a junkyard, was a great deal compared to new. Nothing wrong with it. And yes I checked the vin it wasn't stolen ;)

 

is it just me or does that damn thing look like a freaking drum brake?!

 

man, that IS a drum brake, you can see all the linkages right there!

dude, just take a picture of your supposed bent hub, i doubt you bent your hub. what it REALLY sounds like is your rotor getting caught on a piece of brakepad or something like that.

 

The rear has drum brakes because you can't safely mechanically lock disc calipers to use as a parking brake. The hub is expensive due to the ABS sensor imbeded in the timken bearing. Replacement couldn't be easier. Just make sure you torque the 4 bolts to proper specification or your could have a nasty accident in your near future.

 

i didn't know cars had breaks, i always thought they had brakes.

 

we have rotors in the back?!

or you mean hte drotor?

 

for those confused here is info for you..

The actual rear brake is a rotor and caliper. but the parking brake is a
drum brake design which is inside the inner diameter
(around the hub area) of the rear rotor. so there ya go, hope that clears it up

 

so it is a drotor.
