sooo, as most of you are aware that i had an accident about 2 weeks ago: http://www.evoowners.co.uk/f4/wooops-1669.html

i have manged to get the car fixed, got the parts all fitted, (rear subframe, supension arm, new wheels) took the car for the full wheel laser alignment tonight, seemed ok, except the rear drivers side wheel.

the camber was still out, the guys who done the wheel alignment said that it wouldnt go in any more, that something must still not be right, possibly the wheel hub being slightly bent? so thort fine. but since coming away from the garage Before and After i got the wheels a lined, there is a horrible rumbling noise coming from the rear and a whine that seems to disapear when i put the clutch in but comes back when its out.

got told that the whine may be the clutch thrust bearings and not the Dif, I hope so! but could the rumbling from the rear and the fact of the wheel not being able to be aligned mean that my rear wheel bearings aswell as the hub are damaged? or am i clutching at straws and the fact of the matter is that my Dif is damaged?

Please Help Guys! this has got me seriously stressed:(

Did you change the leg???
I suspect that the leg is bent and the hub is damaged.
As for the noise that goes away when the clutch pedal is dipped, it will most likely be your thrust bearing.

Unfortunately, the only way to rectify the leg issue will be to change it piece meal or get a complete leg with the hub and go for it in one go rather then leg first, then tracking which may just do the job but is 50/50.

If you need any bits then let me know as I am sure that I have what you need in John Boys lock up.

I will PM you a pic tomorrow buddy, the parts are off an Evo VIII which has only done around 18k so you will get quality parts for sure.
