Wheel tilted vertical

Sroley · Nov 14, 2019

Hi guys!

I was going some work on my Landy (110, 1987) and had the tire off. The jack I was using on the axle failed and the end of the axel rested on the ground for about 2-3 seconds before I was able to get it jacked up again. The impact wasn’t hard but when I finished my work and put the tire back on it is slightly tilted upwards.

Does anyone have suggestions on what part may have been damaged or needs to be addressed? See photo below.

Any help is appreciated!

Blessings,

Shane

It looks like that because it is jacked up and the other wheel is still on the ground.

Result of it being a beam axle.

Shouldn't have done any damage, looks perfectly fine to me I think you may be seeing things that aren't there.

Thanks guys. When the wheel is back on the ground it still looks a bit tilted upwards but I trust your guys’ eye and opinion.

I really appreciate the feedback!

Blessings,

You could always hold a spirit level against it - on level ground of course.

It should straighten out as you move the car, the wheels are designed to articulate.

Do you have a photo of the hub assembly?

Surely it landed on the disc? Or was the jack squashed under the axle? From your description I doubt it's done any harm. If the disc is bent you'll get feed back through the brake pedal when your braking.
