can be either option for full size when buying vehicle look at tire if looks different than what is on vehicle its a donut spare if looks like the other tires its a full
I don`t think you have cv axles in the rear of that.My guess would be wheel bearings could be grinding. Donut spares are strickly to be used for short periods of time and not to be driven at any higher rates of speed. Some damage may have occurred during the actual incident when you had the flat initially.Damage to the rear axle itself,
Probably 60 psi, as most of them are. You can find all tire pressure information on the door sticker. Just open the door and look in the jamb for the sticker.
Try rotating your tires from front to back. It may help with the noise. Get a front-end alignment which can also help with the noise by correcting a "rub" sound that originates from the 2 front tires fighting each other for control.
The place which replaced your bearings is probably correct. When you get bad bearings they do not always fail evenly across the 360 degree turning of the bearing race. If you imagine a donut with a flat spot representing your bearing- as the donut spins with the flat spot cause by a disintegrating roller, the tire is bolted to the donut. The tire is going to hit the pavement differently every rotation because of the play in the bearing is at that same spot.
This play will create small cups in the tire shape at the low spot transmitted by the bearing. When you replaced the bearing , the marks in your tire tread remained. These edges need to be worn off. Or some tire stores can Shave a tire, in an attempt to make it round again.
If you have a normal size spare, you can put the spare on the left front side of your vehicle and see if the noise goes away. If the rims are different on the spare, you can have everything remounted and pay for rebalancing and put the unused spare as a front tire. Then you know the spare is at least good as a spare, but noisy.
Check to see if you have a sensor in the spare tire. They are often overlooked. If you don't than you'll need to have the sensors scanned with a TPMS tool capable of displaying sensor data. This will let you see what psi each sensor is reporting. There is probably one sensor that has gone bad a sending a false psi reading to the vehicle.
It should say on the Donut Not to exceed 35 Miles Per Hour. It is OK to drive on, Just make sure that it is Properly Inflated and you do not go too Fast as it will shred the tire and you will have a Bigger Problem!
The lug wrench is
located in a bag next to the spare
tire (3–door and 5–door models) or
on top of the spare tire (sedan and
wagon models). and the key was in this bag.
but they dont always get put back.
im sure you have checked your glove box
if you cant find it any tire repair shop can remove the lock and replace it with a standard one.
good luck
