You guessed it i am another victim of the wet slippery roads, lost control on a roundabout due to my poor driving and lack of concentration luckily no one was hurt only my pride and the nearside rear wheel on my P&J can anyone suggest where i can get a second hand replacement or has one to sell!!I have checked on ebay PH classifieds and Scooby net but no luck yet (54 plate WRX STI with the dimpled rims) I no i am a prat and dont dserve any help but please find it in your hearts to forgive.
On a more technical side the impact with the kerb actually broke the rim leaving apx a 5 inch chunk missing, i have checked as best i can and can see nothing bent and the car is driving straight enough but there is an awfull grinding sound what do we reckon? i have checked the wheel bearing for play by rocking it whilst jacked up but but no obvious signs, drive shaft Bearings/Diff Bearing? any one got any suggestions other than learn to drive!
