Stub Axle and Bearings

[Brosky]

Julian,

I may have some spare parts left over from my chassis rebuild. If I can be of any help, let me know.

Here's a place that was recommended to me, wheel-wise:

Pico Wheel Service
Wheel repair services
13149 Sherman Way, unit A
N. Hollywood, CA 91605
818 982 0375

I know they have extensive experience w/ stock VW wheels

Classic "curbed" wheel: bent outta true from impact. Having it "trued" will get you off th' street but...

Do NOT trust a wheel that's been "fixed", to drive to-and-fro... Hunt a replacement, use the "fixed" one as the spare. That'd be fine to get it to the back yard but NOT as a wheel to drive on. Can you say: "Work hardened"???

That wheel is toast and will need to be replaced. But for now, have you tried to see if it will rotate on the rear axle? If so, you are on the road (for 50 yards) again.

Ok, wrecking yard wheel time. Honda Accord, 4 lug wheel from 89-mid 90's bolts right on. Different offset, but car can be driven. Also early Acura Integra rims bolt up....

That's using your noggin!

It's really badly bent ... but I'll try it. At least it can't foul a caliper

Might the bent wheel work on the back axle, if it doesn't work on the front? Just for the trip to the back yard, of course.
