*Crashed* Now passenger side wheel wobbles! :(

Had a bit of a prang yesterday :unsure:

There was some superficial damage to the bumper, and my pan hard rod was bent severely.

After some TLC with a hammer and heat gun, the wagon was back together.

However my passenger side wheel (which was on the side I bumped) now wobbles whilst moving, making the car underivable.

Would anyone help me diagnose the problem please?, obviously I need a new pan hard rod, but I'm assuming there's another problem and I don't know quite what. I've swapped wheels over and the problem still occurs.

Hopefully I won't need to buy a refurbed axle :(

It sounds like some part of the rotating assembly is damaged all of which are fairly simple to replace. Essentially everything that is carried by the wheel bearing. Your problem is that as it's taken enough impact to damage those components you're going to have to be absolutely certain that the rest of the axle is correct. That's not a simple matter for a home mechanic. Your best bet is to see if James Priestley of this parish has one available.

Wonder if you have bent the wheel a bit?

Bet the arm or axle casing is bent, time to get a straight edge out and take a look

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationRegarding the bent panhard rod -



I've just bought a pair of these for my gold 'daily driver', they are standard length but much stronger and amazingly came with SuperPro bushes to go in them at that price! These are '4x4Outlet' brand, which surely we all know by now is actually JimnyBits!
