bent hub
I have a bent knuckle, I did an alignment yesterday and now the stabilizer bar (toe adjustment) is rubbing the dust sheild. It's causing the worst noise! Any ideas on a temp fix until I can get my new hub in? I'm cheap, I bought aftermarket, it will be about a week for the new parts to arrive. I debated putting a washer on the studs behind the rotor but I think this will likely cause brake issues quickly. Any ideas?

1. how did you bend a knuckle?
2. Don't put washers behind the wheel studs. Much FAIL when a wheel falls the phuck off.
3. Did the car align to spec, and the toe link hits the dust shield?

1- it was put in a ditch a long time ago. That's my only suspect that it's a bent hub. I have adjustable ball joints to fix the alignment issues of it being lowered.
2- test fit some just to pull around the parking lot using the same size washer to space the caliper. Noise is still there and the arm is definatly not touching this time. Wheel bearing is the next suspect but I replaced it about 10k ago. washers were immediatly removed and I never exceded 10 mph. I was scared.
3- yes. -1.5 camber .20 toe (I like to run this on the low end of spec for some reason)

Back up top!
FIXED!
My wheel bearing was toasted. No wheel play but once it came off there was about 4-5mm play in the hub. It didn't align to spec, probably because it's lowered. I got an even, super agressive alignment on the rear. -2.5 camber and 0.20 toe.
