i bent my rear axle about a month or so ago, went sideways into a kerb not really that hard to swap one over, me and my dad did most of the work and had a mechanic friend come round for 2 hours to swap it and check it was all of :) | |

Oh dear well the noise and heat will be from metal on metal rubbing together as you've quite obviously bent something. | |

As title, I was driving around a roundabout (wasn't speeding) when the back end came round and I managed to spin it and hit the back wheel on the kerb fairly hard. |
