PCGUY112887 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 Well a few months ago I noticed some odd rubbing/clunking sound from my rear right tire, it seemed to make more noise when more people/weight was in the car... basically a rubbing/grinding noise on the brakes (only sometimes) or odd clunks and such in a turn/bump from that side. Rotors and caliper was brand new... old caliper was seized up. I was like WTF. It kept getting worse so I took a look and when I span the rotor I could see it move closer/further away as I span it from the mounting bracket so I figured it was a badly warped rotor and it was defective or something. So I throw a new rotor on and... it looks like it has a wobble just like the old one did! Oh well put it on anyways, it's starting to snow I just need to get it done. The noise went away for the most part, for a while. Now it is starting to come back again. WTF is going on? Quote
Andrew Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 yeah its not common but hubs can warp. Quote
rockfangd Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 never seen a warped hub before . did you clean the rust off of the hub before mounting the rotor. also are they the correct rotors. Please post a pic of the side Quote
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 I have only seen one hub that was bent. And it was on my TGP after my wife did a curb check, taking out a hub, 2 rims, and 1 tire. Quote

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Nope, no pics. Was a little to pissed to take pics. She had also gotten a ticket in the TGP a week prior for doing 43, in a 20mph school zone. The TGP has been sitting in storage since. Dont want there to be a 3rd time is the charm. Quote

PCGUY112887 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 Humm not sure about the rust, I think I would have noticed. Yes I know their the right rotors. The noise is starting to get worse now. The car/tire looks fine from the outside, I need to get it up in the air and pull on the tire some. If that doesn't lead anywhere then I am lost may just have my mechanic look at it when I get him to put my Intrax springs on :-p Quote
