Brake/Spindle Damage? Hey everyone,
Had a bit of an accident tonight. Spun the car getting on the freeway and ended up backward on the small curb/divider between the onramp and slow lane. I am fine and the car is ok. Passenger rear tire hit the curb first and jumped on top. Passenger front tire hit a little also. A big chunk of the rear rim broke off and a part of the front did also. I was able to drive off the curb and babied her all the way home. Horrible squeaking from the passenger side of the car and the brakes kinda work but pulsate really bad and squeak really bad when trying to break. Everything else seems to be ok on the car. Here are a few pics:
Passenger Rear Rim
Closeup Pass. Rear Rim
Pass. Front Rim
Closeup Pass. Front Rim
Pass. Side Rear Rim
Driver Side Rear Rim (seems like this side is fine)
Anyone have thoughts on what the extent of the damage could be? With that pass. rear tire tweaked in like that, what could be damaged? www.guldstrand.com is located very near me so I am going to give them a call tomorrow and see if they would be willing to look at the car.
Thanks for any thoughts you have.
