After the Crash
Has anyone posted an 'after the crash' story, no the crash wasn't something I was involved in. My GS430 was hit on the front left drivers side and the frame was bent and 'straightened' Now there is a sound from the left front well that definitely has something to do with the wheel revolution as you can year the rub (rub speeds up and car speeds up).
I've had the rotors shaved, then ordered new ones, brakes and tires (firestone firehawk) are also new. Bearings and wheel hub also seem to be fine. Rims (16' stock chrome) haven't changed.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for to get rid of this rub? I'm going to switch out the spare (alloy) and just test to see if the rim is bent but haven't yet because I figure a bent rim would cause the car to shake or wobble but this is just a rub.
