Roo Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Car fixed. £ 700 and a hub lighter (thanks alex). Noble are not convinced it wont come back as they are still puzzled as to how the hub deformed and why it had created such a problem. But at least its sorted.

ZMANALEX Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Really glad that you are sorted mate So I guess that a new hub and a rotor resurface fixed your issue and that the problem only occured because of the hub issue and not faulty DBA rotors as previously thought.

Alex. Cheers fella Noble are keeping your details...they described you and clark as "Good contacts". what has them puzzled is what damaged the hub. Also the guys that resurfaced the discs thought there were "castings" but we think that was just the kangeroo paw confusing them. Just bedded them in and seem ok.

SteveW Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've had a similar problem In the past with my rear left the hub itself was warped by 0.07mm which translates at the outer edge of the disk to 0.2mm runout which =vibrations!! Car has never hit anything but the rear left hub is warped. I could only fix it by putting in a 4 thou shim and rotating the disk until total runout dropped below 0.05mm. Not vibes since. So yes a hub can warp without an impact or I believe it can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Maybe mate, I think it's the only explanation there can be UK roads are terrible! When the wheel bearing goes next time I'll be putting a new hub on as the shim is a pita to get to sit right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 700£ hope you never experience that again! at least sorted and back on the road yeah? Potholes? not likely is it? I've hit mahussive potholes in the past and that's never ever happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
