Real wheel hub is bent, can it be replaced or whole thing rplced?

Hi, I recently spun around in the snow on a back road and seemed to have bent the rear wheel hub. I can only find replacements for the front. Do they make them for the back or do I need to replace that whole thing? I really don't know anything about cars and don't want to walk to a shop without knowing before what I should expect. I know its bent because when we spun, the back end went sideways and even bent the tire slightly. The tire has been replaced but when you try to spin the tire it wobbles and catches. In any case, THANKS in advanced for your help!

    This has a straight one piece rear axle, yes? If it were mine I'd take it to a body shop and see if they can straighten it or replace it with a salvage yard one.

SOURCE: Can a bent wheel rim cause a problem for emergency brake cable

Does it have what's called trailing arms on the rear suspension ---inspect the main BIG bushings
that connect it --common problem on alot of vehicle
some are DIY some are not depending on basic hand tools skills and proper support
jack stands ---plural on purpose --safe dry location
some are easy bolt in and replace some are press in and out --- a machine shop or "Friend" may Macguyver it for you and poof fixed ---ahhh it's free advice take what you can---

SOURCE: back tires sliding in the snow

Snow tires.

All season tires are jacks of all trades but masters of none. You might find that some all season tires are great in snow but then when you drive over wet snow or any ice it's like you're on your rims.

For your car I recommend Yokohama Iceguard. They aren't cheap but then body work and tow trucks aren't either.

Your friend is right.Those are two things that should be checked. If your tires are in good shape,you might also try rotating them.

What is the huming noise comeing from the front of my avenger while driving down the road.

Tires out of alignment can make a humming noise but so can a water pump or alternator before it goes out. A parts store can hook up to your car and test the alternator quickly and eliminate that.

How to remove a rear axle on a 98 Chevy K1500 truck

first up jack up the vehicle and remove the damaged wheel
fit the spare tire and then place an indicator ( rod on a brick ) close to the rim of the spare and turn the wheel
if the axle of hub is bent you will see the rim get closer then further away from the indicator as you turn the wheel
if it is , replace the axle and bearings
if not there will be no axle damage but the bearing could be "brinnelled "( a bearing term where the balls or rollers have been imprinted into the race from impact) in which bearing failure will become evident in 10-20,000 miles
next step is to go and get a rear end wheel alignment done as there could be suspension damage that will cause handling and tire wear problems

I was driving on the highway my car spun out of control, causing me to hit the back passenger rear tire up against a cement block on the highway. it looks like to me my tire is pushed up in the wheel hub...

There are a few things that can be bent or broken, I'll list them in order of most likley - the wheel is bent, strut assembly, lower locating arm, bearing hub. With-out knowing how to check them, you should have a Tech have a look.

I had a new brake job on my 2006 Mercedes E500 and noticed pulsating feel on the brakes high and low speed. I brough it back and he said the rotors are fine and he thinks it is a warped ub on the drivers...

If the rotors where replaced during the brake job this is possible, it could be that the hub always has been bent but the previous rotors where skimmed on the vehicle thus eliminating the brake shudder. If the rotors wherent replaced in the recent brake job, the chances are unlikley the the hub suddenly warped.

I have a 1999 blazer zr2 with the 4.3 vortec OK now hears the problem to day when i was driveing in the snow i had to use the 4wd so i stopped and hit the 4wd button and it clicked and sounded like it...

Sound crazy, but alot recommendations say thet when you pass from Hi to Lo must insure that you have foot on the brake pedal.

Loss of vacuum engages the front hubs; other for no 4 wheel drive and no indicator light. Go home pulled all the fuses that had to do with the 4 wheel drive system, put them back in and 4 wheel seems to work fine now. And no there were no blown fuses.

I recently had same case and it was a bad electric motor on the transfer case (31000 miles). The 4x4 light wouldn't even light up or engage so I would lean towards it being something different on your end.
Also, could be the actuator pin or w/e the little plastic piece is that engages the 4LO might be broke, or maybe a couple of other things.

Keep us updated.

Hit the curb on that snow day pretty hard that it bent the rim and chipped some of the hub cap what should I do

Hi,
If the rim is bent severely, it could cause wear on your tire. If you are unsure of the severity, you might take the vehicle to a tire shop and have the wheel checked on a rotating balance type machine.
Worse case scenario, replace the rim (I'd get one from a wrecking yard). If the hub cap asthetics bother you, the salvage yard may also have one of those.
Hope this helps... Good luck!

2004 grand prix roaring noise

It really sounds like a wheel bearing to me, If you drive down a straight smooth road and gently rock the steering wheel back and forth, you can sometimes tell which side it is by the way the car loads the front wheels. I believe this bearing can be purchased as hub and bearing assembly so it is fairly easy to replace but the part is pricey. Remove the wheel, brake caliper and rotor, look through the hub flange access holes and undo the mounting bolts and pull the bearing assembly out of the knuckle.
