Thats not a dig btw, i am genuinely curious...mine always used to drift out...never could get the backend to swing for trying. I dunno how I managed to spin it, I can usually feel if the back end is drifting a bit but not this time, it just spun and i tried correcting it but it was too late.:(

	yep. if you have hit it hard then its most likely creased in the middle somewhere. not that hard of a job to swop over for another one if you have

	quote: Originally posted by johnhara1 Oh dear well the noise and heat will be from metal on metal rubbing together as you've quite obviously bent something. Get the wheel off, rear drum off, brake kit off and id put money on the bearings being knackered and the shaft being bent. New rear axel time. Thanks, i will get it all stripped down, it wounded me as I was driving normally and not speeding at all.:mad:

	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. Ive changed the wheel but the wheel is sitting at a funny angle and if I drive it for say more than a mile (I had to drive home but did it at 20mph) the wheel gets warm and in the centre it is to hot to touch. It is also making a noise that I can only really describe as a "hooning" noise. What is likely to be broken? Thanks in advance.
