Wheel Problem

[jdmh22a]

Hey all

My g.f's Gen5 Lude left rear wheel is *bent* out 11 degrees, only discovered this when we bought new wheels for it...anyone know how much roughly this will cost to fix? recommendations of workshops are appreciated. Thanks all

bent? that dont sound too healthy... you sure it not just wheel out of balance? or can acutally see the wheel bent?

[jdmh22a]

nah its bent..if you look at it from behind its bent out! top part of wheel is slighty out. The arms of that particular wheel is bent.

i asked about repairing wheels before, simply its just not worth it. i reckon you just buy a new one to replace it.

probably a better idea to just go to the wreckers to buy one used rim then trying to repair it... when rims are bent its normally expensive to fix, lips are cheaper to repair however...

Sorry that i wasn't clear...the actual wheel is not bent, but the arms that is connected to the diff which is connected to the rotors is bent, making the wheel rear left wheel lean out 11 degrees...

take it to pedders, they can find the problem for you.

replace the arm, get a wheel alighnment, hopefully thats the only bent part.

very bad camber

make sure to check the sub frame and the control arms too.

the sub frames on hondas bend very easily if you hit a curb, they are designed to do this.

If the subfram is bent should be about a grand to fix
