Yeah, the guy who checked it all out, thought I had changed the guttered wheel, and was surprised that it didn't bend.

But I assume that what didn't bend in the wheel. bent elsewhere ie/ control arms, hence why the alignment guy can't dial in anymore toe.

I also noticed when someone else drove my car, the offending wheel was wobbling alot, as if it was gonna fall out anytime soon.

So the lesson here is to get weaker wheels :mrgreen:

Makes it cheaper when you drive like an idiot :oops:

hah, unsure about if it is cheaper bending a wheel. in any case, wobbling issue happened with me too. I remember when i was driving my car to the mechanic, i was told 3 times that my wheel is about to fall off.

once by a guy who got out of his car, knocked on my window to tell me. That was nice.

^ haha same, a guy overtook me, and pulled me over, to tell me that my rear wheel is mcfucked and thought it was gonna fall off, very nice man.

Anyways, I received my parts from mx5plus lastweek, for a great price, and still need the time to put it on.

But a confirmation question:

What size is the rear wheel bearing hub nut? 32mm?
And curiosity what is the front nut size.

From memory one end is 32 and one end is 34
