Hit a curb....
so I junked my drivers side rear wheel, and now a clunk with a brake grind every revolution... I don't know much about this area of the car... I'm assuming an axle or wheel bearing bent?
can someone tell me what I can look for to tell what this is....
such a sad day... car is a 94 z28... I have a third gen too, so maybe you could still show sympathy, and you know, help me out please...

Sounds like a bent axle. The axles arnt too hard to remove. Probably not a bad idea to replace the bearings and seals on both sides as well while your there. Im sure they could probably use it after 10+ years.

hmm so I pulled the rotor, got a new one, when I had it off put the car in drive and the hub wobbles like no ones business...
I'm under the impression its a 1 piece hub and axle and I'll need to replace the whole thing....

yes, go out to a yard and get another axle. Make sure to get the correct one. Both the left and right axles are different lenghts.

the wheel is pretty toast...
I found another wheel, and rotor... now to get the axle. ebay has a couple that are lookin good and cheap with little time left, hopefully they work out.
Where should I go for bearings?

I think the 4th gen axles may be a different legnth then the 3rd gen ones.
You can get bearings & seals at any parts store. They come with the set of the Superior axles.
