Does anyone sell recon rear axles?

Mine has got a wicked kink in it, the angle of the wheel is making me wonder if my car has been fitted with rear wheel steer :(

….yet it didn't seem a problem with the bbs wheels on, actually i think it's the wheels, the centre bore of them is all wrong

You'd need to disassemble and inspect things, do find the damaged part. It could be just the stub axle, or it could be the whole axle (well, trailing arm part of it).

You mean its buckled, or the mounting face isn't right, or something? I guess you can check if a wheel's buckled yourself merely by jacking the car up and spinning it. A tyre mounting machine is also useful, it allows the wheel to be spun quicker. Where did you buy the wheels from and was it new or secondhand?

Na it's not that, the actual big hole in the centre of the wheel is a couple of mil too small so the wheel won't sit flush on the hub. So when i tighten one nut right up, thats the side that nips in

The wheels came free with the car so god knows what they're off, i'll ebay them
