[Right on the Mark]

Are you sure mating surface of hub and back side of rotor is clean? I see lugs on there but those are all tight clamping rotor 100%?

O.O

Yeah I'd say that's not normal.. flip flop the rear rotors, double check

looks like a bad wheel bearing

If the wheel bearing is that bad you will probably need a new hub too.

 

[chris2523]

yeah, you might need a hub. looks almost like something is bent.

car ever been wrecked?

 

[young mark 8 lover]

it has to be the bearing in my opinion because after looking closely at the cv shaft its moving just as far in and out as parts of the hub

Notice how the caliper bracket isnt moving. Bad hub bearing. Replace the bearing.

 

[Ricksquickviii]

Thanks every one I’ll take everything apart and replace the bearing

 

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Might as well replace the otherside while you're at it.

I don't know if you'd be interested, but I just found a box in my garage yesterday with all of the hubs that I removed from my car about 3 years ago. I don't remember the mileage, but there was nothing wrong with them when removed. Only removed so I could do the hub swap.

I'd let you have them for the cost of shipping. About $15.

Done with the job I had to replace the hub too, but the axle nut 250 Ft Pounds of torque my torque wrench is good for 150 ft pounds what to do?
