Just had an accident and got a few questions

[Limoncho]

I was hit in the rear passenger tire, right in the rim, there is no visual damage except for the rim being scratched, it looks misaligned too, I was hit by a small car, Honda civic to be precise and It was strong enough to flip me 90 degrees, on my way home I notice a heavy wobble on the rear side, what should I be looking at in the best and worst scenarios? Damaged bearing and what else?

Thanks

At the least, I'd take it to an alignment shop and they will be able to tell you if something is out of wack. Could be anything from a bent wheel, to bad bearings, to bent link bars, or a bent rear axle.

Your rear wheel bearing is gone, the impact probably bent the axle and the axle housing also. I had same exact thing. The women who hit me her insurance paid in excess of 8k. they had to put in new oem bearing, new oem axle and new oem rear axle housing. I had a bunch of back and forth with her insurance and it took about three months before I got my truck back. Make sure the insurance pays for fixing it right.

Other driver has no insurance, so if this is what happened to mine I'd have to start looking for a whole axle assembly at a junkyard, mine has a factory e-locker being this the worst scenario (hopefully not) is the e-locker something I can rescue from my current axle or not?

You can remove the diff carrier (third member) and get an axle housing for e-locker diffs. alternatively, you can either keep that as a reserve if you find a complete e-locker assembly or you can use that if you can find an e-locker housing without the diff carrier

This really sucks. Yeah you can save the 3rd member and the driver side axke.axle. should be good , mine was. Look for an elocker housing and passenger axle and put it together. Best of luck
