datguydeni · 06-09-2009, 11:49 AM

lol i left the car on bricks i think I'm committed to leaving it alone for a while lol xD
any ideas about this hub and disc break? it doesn't seem that its not tightened to the hub or something... or should it be loose like that? and the wheel is suppose to push it and hold it in place... still a car noob lol

Davis · 06-09-2009, 11:49 AM

Dude, you should already be able to tell if it should be like that or not. There should absolutely be no play on the hub. If there is then something is definitely wrong. Does the steering wheel shake at all when you drive it?

datguydeni · 06-09-2009, 12:17 PM

well its more like this. the hub is fine (i replaced it like 10k miles ago) just that the disc brake seems to be not held onto it?

masagsxr · 06-09-2009, 01:10 PM

the disc brake is not mounted with bolts to the hub permanently if that is what you are asking. When you put the wheels on, then it stays in place.... I think someone asked about this like 200 pages ago...

datguydeni · 06-09-2009, 01:24 PM

oh haha. i took off the other side and was like it doesn't move so something must be wrong lol. I guess the older side is rusted together lol thanks mixxer for clarifying that.
so that knock might be from the bushing/control arm kelvin was talking about it. which might dad won't let me change cause he said it'll goof with the alignment and the guys will charge another 100$ --" to align it. that's if they're asses.

masagsxr · 06-09-2009, 01:27 PM

yep... if the bushings are bad, you will here those knocking sound from take off, turn, when you accelerate etc...

datguydeni · 06-09-2009, 01:42 PM

are alignment places suppose to charge extra for move camber and casters? or is that all included/??

masagsxr · 06-09-2009, 01:45 PM

according to davis I guess they do.... Get the car aligned, then just put those camber bolts and DIY to your settings.

datguydeni · 06-09-2009, 01:46 PM

well i got ripped then ><" freakin 80 to move a caster... 80 for a camber..

masagsxr · 06-09-2009, 01:49 PM

Thats because you like taking your car to shops than doing research first or DIY hahahaaa...

By a set of daym basic tools and start wrenching... You are in the wrong hobby if you dont even have those

randomxzero · 06-09-2009, 01:56 PM

ohh man that was a lot of money wasted :/...
with all taht money wasted you could have already fixed what you broke...

ya i asked about the moving disc mixxer..
imma noob also :/

datguydeni · 06-09-2009, 01:58 PM

lesson learned....
can i really align the car myself o.0

masagsxr · 06-09-2009, 01:59 PM

Alex: was that you? I don't remember who it was. It was 200 pages ago hehehehe

randomxzero · 06-09-2009, 02:05 PM

haha ya that was me.. i changed the brakes on my gf's camry...
(wtf is up with camry's they are everywhere!!!!)

Davis · 06-09-2009, 02:13 PM

Yeah I remember that was Alex.

masagsxr · 06-09-2009, 02:23 PM

Daym kids with your good memory LoL

Deni: yes you can if you have the right tools. Thats not even what i'm talking about in general. Just having the basic tools so you can do more on the car yourself than taking it to shops every time....

randomxzero · 06-09-2009, 02:24 PM

ya i was freaking out thinking the guy who did the job before must have forgotten to put something back on..
