Need to replace tire bolts

You need to take this to a tire shop and have them look into this and do some inspections, I think the wheel hub is bent.

The job is pretty straight forward, if you have to remove your wheel for access the the nut on the axle then do so. Otherwise, pop off the dust cap to the nut, take out the the cotter pin, bust the nut loose... (and if this is the first time you have replaced it then be ready do put some muscle in it) jack it up, remove tire, remove brake caliper, remove the caliper mount, remove rotor, back-off the rest of the axle nut, then the hub should just need a hit or two from the back and should come right off. Install backwards.... pretty easy, but if you don't have any tools, which it sounds like, you will need a break-over bar 1/2" drive, and the nut which if I remember correctly was a 22mm or 24mm, which is pretty big for someone who just has a store bought 100 peice tool set

A Sunfire is front wheel drive, so there should not be a rear axle.
There is a rear strut, the hub and bearing is bolted to the trailing arm and strut. The tire and wheel bolt to the hub.
I would get two estimates for repairs before making a decision. It could have under-body damage too.

you need to remove the cover in the middle of the rear axle rotate the drive shaft until you see a bolt with a 5/16 head on it slide out the pin that the bolt held in remove the c clip that holds the axle in slide out the axle and replace the seal you should do both sides while its apart then put it back together and fill threw the plug on the front side that uses a 3/8 drive

its pretty simple

Remove the drive shaft

remove the tires

remove the calipers and rotors if rear disk and then remove the ebrake shoes/cables.

If rear drums remove the drums. remove the shoes and the e brake cable. remove the backing plate bolts. remove backing plate from axle and support with a piece of wire from the frame being careful not to distort the brake line.

remove the bolt that holds the breather an brake junction to the axle.

remove the break line from the tabs (may not have them).

remove the shocks from the axle.

remove the u-bolts from the axle.

pull the axle out.

Things You'll Need:

• Floor jack Jack stand Wheel chock 1/2-inch drive breaking bar 1/2-inch drive socket set 1/2-inch drive ratchet C-clamp Bungee cord Flathead screwdriver Ball peen hammer Handheld portable propane torch (optional) Medium grade sand paper or emery cloth Anti-seize lubricant.

STEPS TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES

1. Park the Dodge Caravan on a level paved or concrete surface.2
2. Place a wheel chock in front of one of the front tires.3
3. Break the lug nuts loose on the reartires.4
4. Lift one side of the rear axle of theCaravan using the floor jack and place a jack stand under the rear axle.5
5. Remove the lug nuts and tire.6
6. Remove the caliper bolts using the ratchet and a socket. Remove the pads from the caliper starting with the outboard pad and pry it from the caliper housing with a flathead screwdriver. Remove the inboard pad and compress the piston of the caliper in using the C-clamp. Replace the pads. Hang the caliper to the frame using the bungee cord.
7. Remove the caliper anchor bolts using the ratchet and a socket.8
8. Remove any retaining rings on the hub of the rotor around the studs. Pry them off with the screwdriver and discard them. You will not need them for reinstallation.
9. Strike the fin of the rotor on the edge using the ball peen hammer. Spin the rotor and strike it often and from the inside of the tire well moving out. Use as much force as necessary. If the rotor still does not want to come off (rare cases) light up the portable propane torch and apply a liberal amount of heat to the hub of rotor around the lug studs and strike with the hammer to shock it from the hub.0Sand down the hub facing with a medium grade sandpaper or emery cloth once the rotor has been removed and the hub has cooled down if you had to use the torch. Sand down the edges of the hub as well.
10. Apply a light coat of anti-seize lubricant to the edge of the hub and this will help in the future when the rotor needs to be removed again for whatever reason.
11. Replace the parts in reverse procedure and repeat the steps for the other side.

Unhook your dive shaft from the rear end. Take your U bolts of off your springs. Make sure that you disconnect the break lines from the rear axle. remove your shocks. It should be free at this point. In stubborn cases, you may have to put a small jack in between the frame and axle and apply very light pressure. Hope this helps.

is this front wheel? rear wheel? or 4 wheel drive? if you have front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive you will need to take the tire off and get the center cap off with cotter pin on most vehicles. then put the tire back on without its center cap. then put the vehicle back on the ground. then use required socket with an extention and breaker bar to put through the rim to loosen center hub bolt about a quarter turn. just enough to break it loose. then take the tire back off to finish the job. remove the brake caliper and rotor then center nut on hub bearing. there should be 3 bolts from the inside holding hub bearing on. on rear wheel only you won't need to take the tire off and on.

That would be the rear control arm. You can provide a temporary fix using a 1 foot piece of 1" square steel tubing and 2 u-bolt brackets that fit over the broken arm (at any hardware store). Center the piece of tubing on the break inside the U of the control arm. Fasten the U bolt brackets 2" in from the ends of the square tube. This will last quite some time so you can get it replaced at a later date.

sounds like to me a bearing is out are the rear axle is bent. jack up car on side that keeps breaking and roll the tire see if it moves side to side but it does have something to do with the axle.
