Bent rear stub axle on VTR

[Davyy]

I hit a roundabout sideways and have bent the drivers side wishbone which is all ordered up and also the rear stub axle.. which apparently i need a whole new axle, is this correct?

This is what my mechanic says after ringing around.. but then on ebay ive found this, will this do the job? Thanks

tbh, it depends on the damage. It may also have ruined some other parts. A refurbed rear beam (from IM Axles) is honestly the best way forward, however you may (as you rightly suggest) be fine with just the pin :)

If you elect to just get the stub pins, you'll need new bearings (and seals) also. You may also need a LARGE press to remove... http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1044924&postcount=23

usually when they are kerbed its the stub pin that the wheel bearing slides onto that bends, about 99% of the time. these don't need any specialist equipment to replace, remove the hub, and beat the stub pin out, its just splined into the rear trailing arm. very rare for an axle to bend just by kerbing, got pins here £20

if its really bad you can cut the stub axle down but i've tended to find its getting the hub off which is the problem rather than drifting out the stub axle.

Cheers for the replies guys.. I'm on my phone but the person who said about the tub pin being 20quid, is it the same thing as in the link I gave? Thanks

And mandyslover do you sell the bearings and seals as mentioned above?

You might be luck mate and bent the stub axle which the wheel bearing slides on to. If this is the case is a simple job mate no need for the trailing arm bearings ect ect :) pm me if you neef to know more :)

[hillbillyxsi]

Ahh sorry jst read every1s comments so as above the link should sort it with a new wheel bearing and hub :)

[saxo-parts]

got good used hubs with bearings and pins here as well

[Davyy]

Okay thanks mate, could you just pm me a price and a list of all the stuff I need to get it sorted and on the road again including postage - thanks
