Is my axle bent?
The other day it was raining and my back end came out from under me and my car ended up doing a 360 and I smashed my wheels up against a median. I had to replace the wheels but now my back wheel on the passengers side (the one with the most damage) is making all kinds of noise and stuff. And there is also some grinding noise coming from back there under acceleration. My brakes might be screwed up too because when I slow the car doen is shakes back and forth. What do you think the problem is? I'm thinking a bent axle and a warped brake?

Sure sounds like a bent axle. You'll know for sure when it snaps. Best to pull it out and check.

Not a bad idea. You don't want that thing to break. You may want to keep a lookout for some axleshafts...actually, I think I have some in my garage I think you can use...e-mail me.

You're in Tallahassee? Hey, I was just down there today, it's about 90 miles from here. How do I find your e-mail address?
