Stub Axel
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 4:11 pm
Had a bit of a problem yesterday! 
On my way back from Ultimate dubs started to get a wheel bearing-like noise from the near side rear wheel.
Pulled over and realised that the wheel was poking a good 30mm more than usually from the arch
Although this was briefly enjoyable to look at and did look pretty sick, when I drove it down the road it did wobble like a tire free rolling down the road 
I could also pull it back n forth with the hub!
Anyway to cut a long story short, took it to the garage today after driving home at 20 with my hazards on. It was a wheel bearing that had gone and welded itself to the stub axel so we had to cut it away and it has slightly cut into the stub axel. Was just wondering where can I get another stub axel and how much am I looking at? If anyone has one spare or they're breaking their car let me know.
Cheers people
