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.

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.

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

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

Well I changed a stub axle and the wheel still wasn't sat right so had a better look at the beam and it rubber ducked. so off to the scrappys for a new one tomorrow.

O well £20 for the rear beam from the scrapyard and a couple of hours to fit, so not too bad.

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.
