underpowerd Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 you'll almost definitely need a new wheel bearing/hub at minimum. you'll have to get it on the alignment rack to check for other bent up components. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark687 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Lets just hope that all i need is a rim. ima praying right now. But how critcal is a hub and wheel bearing.? and cost?

ehsnils Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 New rim and wheel bearing. And check the alignment. New hub - maybe, depends on if it really did get damaged. As far as I know they are cast and cracks if they get damaged, so that will be fairly obvious. Just hope that it wasn't bad enough to punch through to the gearbox through the axle. Notice that the wheel bearing may look and feel good for the moment but it can degrade quickly from a small dent in the tracks or in the balls.

Notice that the wheel bearing may look and feel good for the moment but it can degrade quickly from a small dent in the tracks or in the balls. +1 I hit a curb with the lgt before, just curbed wheel, wheel did not break, bend etc, looked cosmetic, but my steering wheel was off by about 5* after the hit when trying to drive straight, so needed alignment. Got alignment right away, they said nothing looked bent and was able to get backt o specs. Eventually my wheel bearing went out on that side after 1yr, and then my powersteering rack started leaking another year after that. Both had to be replaced. Im surprised the lgt is that fragile when hitting curbs, my accord took many harder hits into the curb, and is still fine, even with small chunks of alloy wheel missing.

clark687 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 I have to say i'm very impressed how it handles most of the time in the snow. im worried that i wont be able to afford the pats and labor. So far i bought a new rim. Called dealership 299$ went on ebay bought one for 165. Will i need a new wheel hub,if the wheel looks bent inward or can this be a bent rim.? hopefully tonite i can get the car in the garage and take the wheel off to see if there is damage. ill post pics also.

underpowerd Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 the hub/wheel bearing is a single integrated assembly IIRC, at least on the earlier (05-06) models. i think most list them for like 1-something; try king of parts for better price. labor isn't too bad for just that, either, but ymmv at different dealerships. it'll also cost you a hunj or so to get on the rack. if you banged up the control arm, ball joint, strut, strut mount, etc. the tally could start to get nasty. how did you hit it sideways, or straight on?

LegacyGTBiggie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh shit man that sucks... Might end up having to sell my torques in the near future. Would love to keep em but bad times and all. Might work out for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramm Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Just hope your control arm isn't bent... I curbed mine like three weeks ago and the part has been on backorder forever. Although I talked to the dealer and they have the parts so it should be done monday or tuesday. I'm looking at around$1700 in repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
