if you hit the curb with your brakes locked then I would say it is possible you damaged the calipers as well. Lots of force action going on in that impact

+1.... Ask me how I know about bent axle flanges.... LOL

[maxgst]

the axle flange is what holds the wheel right? so if it was bent it would cause the bottom of the wheel to bend in a little?

Im pretty sure I need a new rear brake caliper (Anybody know when I can get this for cheap) since the pad it touching the disk constantly.

And also wheres the cheapest place I can get a 17 inch 10.5 cobra r chrome wheel?

[maxgst]

will this fit my car?

This doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't try it again, just make sure your in a wide open lot next time

This is the axle flange... So yes if its bent it will make the rotor touch the caliper in rotation as the rotor sits against the flange...

naw im tired of this shit, drifting always attracted me because it made me feel "cool" I guess, but its pretty stupid unless done professionally and having the money to fix whatever gets broken.

Me on the other hand don't have money for shit, and 1/8 times I drift I hit something, but this was the first time I actually broke something.

I know a guy at work who was stationed in japan for awhile and he knows how to drift he said to learn though you can't have any attachment to your car and that they were always ripping off bumpers during long drift runs

Yes that would be the fix... But instead of shotgun maintence to resolve the problem you need to trouble shoot to verify what in fact was damaged...

That's why I do it in wide open lots. The worst that could happen us a uncontrolled 360

Exactly

If I feel the need to burn some rubber, I just go to a local church parking lot. The one time I did a donut on a street I didn't crash, but the cops got me

[maxgst]

so after checking everything I actually bent the axle shaft. ANybody have a link on how to replace the axle?

Well needless to say, roads are different wet than dry, and I spun out and hit a curb (like you) but fortunately for me, I hit it dead-on backwards. So although it scared me and I learned my lesson, there was no damage done. This was also before my car was lowered or the PHB, so it would've probably fucked up my exhaust and/or PHB and/or bumper if it was lowered. Sometimes lessons are learned harder than other times, but it also could have been worse. You could have smashed into another car, done some body damage (which is wayyy expensive), or even hit a person. Axles aren't really a HUGE deal, and it may be a good thing, time for an upgrade to 31 spline . Try to look at it on the bright side like that. I dont remember if you have gears or not, but get an aftermarket diff and 31 spline axles and some 4.10's. If you dont have aftermarket control arms, there ya go too. Brake upgrade? Ya feel me... I know budgets won't allow for all the above, but see what NEEDS replacing, and see if it could be reasonable to upgrade from what you had. I am on a 5hr energy buzz at work and think this may be on the verge of a rant, and when I hit "Post Quick Reply," I think I might be surprised at how long this post actually is, so I am sorry for that. Good luck and let us know if there's anything we can do to help! EDIT: Yup, I was surprised. Holy fucking rant, my apologies...

<3 that was hilarious, 5 hour energy buzz, omg. i laughed.

no squeaking, but as someone said because the axle shaft is bent it pushes the brake disk against the pads which causes the screeching noise.

One of the articles on this gear installation guide will tell you how to remove the axles.
