Check all bolts at the back, wheel bearing collapsed? wheels balenced? axle bent? did you do any damage when you smashed that wheel?

Sorry for hijacking.

What is the feeling if you have a bad wheel bearing? Front or rear.

Thanks.

The smashed wheels was the front, replaced all the lowering block bolts with new ones, anti bar bushes seem fine so do the leaf spring bushes. Going to rip the front apart and see what I can find tomoro

From experiance I would always look at the front end first. Most rear end issue hardly show up other then when near the limit.

Check for even the faintest amount of play in the front suspension. Rember you will need to have the wheels off teh ground to check or the weight of the car will hold things in place.

Sounds like something bent on one side, wheels not aligned but also something else. Check the position and direction of all the wheels. Sounds bad enough to be visible.
