_Rob_ Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 i hit a kerb last week, damaged my nearside wheel and sheared a ball joint. the car has been on axle stangs since on my drive. just been having a play around and put the wheels on so i could spin the wheels to take the layer of rust of the brake disks. all was well apart from the offside wheel didnt seem to turn. i decided to fire her up and pop it in drive. i could hear the near side wheel spinning but nothing fron the offside. i got worried. i put the wheel back on and tried turning the wheel again, back and forth. the wheel would turn a couple of turns backwards relativley easy, also turning the drive and prop shafts. however when turning it forward, it was extremely stiff, then it gets to a point where it wont turn any more by hand. again, while it did turn forward, the prop and drive shafts turned with it. tried drive again, nothing. just the nearside spinningaway. same in reverse. any ideas???

Guest supra rob Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Possible wheel bearing or c.v joint damage not an expert but i wuold take the wheel off the the caliper and work back from there till you find the prob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 cheers for the reply Rob. the wheel thats now not spinning is not the one which hit the kerb, and it was spinning imediently after i hit the kerb, so ive assumed its not damage from that...? could something cease on while its been stationarry? but then if something had, wouldnt the wheel not move at all, not just forwards? by the way, shes auto, and when i tried to spin the wheel the car was in N. handbrake off, before any one says that... if it was CV joint of bearing, again surely the wheel wouldnt move at all...?

Chris Wilson Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 It's probably nothing at all, it's just the way a differential works. If you load the wheel up that's spinning the other one will start to move. It'll be fine once it's on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
