Noise/Issues after new wheels
Noise/Issues after new wheels
Got new rims for my car, 20’s was doing it in the driveway, got passenger side done than it started to get dark, so I went to move it to the garage, it instantly started make a loud sound in the rearend, I checked nothing was rubbing or hitting. Took the wheels off put it in stands and it still makes the sound, and the axle shafts will stop every so often while on the gas without me getting in the brake. Emptied the diff fluid and I feel like it was low, someone in the forum said it takes 1.6 litters, not that much in there. I spin the driveshaft by hand and I don’t hear anything in the diff, PLEASE HELP

Remove the brake rotor. The brake rotor also has a built in drum for the parking brake shoes. Your new rims may require shorter wheel bolts. Too long of a bolt will interfere with the parking brake.

sorry guys for the late response long day at work, but it wasn’t the bolts, I gotta replace the differential. The different size rim on each side destroyed the gears. I didn’t think it would do it so fast but it did. It instantly blew it.
