    wheel issues!

    Alright so i have a issue with my e30. Which this time, seems to be a little hard to diagnose. My wheel sits funny. It will lean in torwards the body sometimes, or sometimes it leans out. The brakes grind in high spots on the rotor, and the tire doesnt bounce up or down, just wobbles left and right.

    If i jack it up, i cant wiggle the wheel in any direction (yes, with the ebrake off), but if i spin it, the way it leans is different..

    some say hub, some say spindle... i need to know...

    Just checking, are you running spacers? That kinda was what was described to me would happen to my new wheels if I didn't get the centerbores right for the wheels and the spacers

      To determine whether the wobble is from the wheel or hub, swap that wheel to the other side of the car. If the wobble moves you have a bent wheel...
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        I doubt it could be the wheel... because the brake rotor is bent as well...

        and i need to know if i need to replace more than that...

        You can tell that my car was rear ended, because behind the drivers door is aot of bondo, and sheet metal work...

        i have a bad feeling under my skin, this car was totaled or used for parts... just my luck
