Warped Hubs
My hubs are warped.
I recently got rear ended, put my wheels on without a torque wrench, and mounted my tires myself.
I seem to be getting about 5 MPG (8% less) than expected when I should be getting 5% better MPG ( I put on narrower tires when I mounted the tires myself).
... The hubs are visibly warped.
I can see a sway when I spin the back tires jacked up.
Between 60-75 I feel a more than noticiable vibration.
How much MPG do you lose from something like this?
And also do I have to replace the whole entire hub assembly + the rim (will the rim be F*cked if it is mounted on a bad Hub and Vice Versa for a bad rim and good hub?)? That would include the brake drum rotor. Or can I just get away replacing the hub or the rotor.
Maybe I could use washers on the lug bolts to space this.
Hopefully someone else has had the same problem and can give some info on the lost MPG and any potential easy quick cheap solutions.
