Rear driver's side wheel ran off the hub. The wheel came off the hub almost completely, wedging itself at an angle in such a way that the wheel was supporting the weight of the vehicle. The car now sits about a half inch lower on the rear passenger side and the drive'rs side rear cannot be aligned to spec.

It's evident that the wheel is significantly cambered, negatively (towards the vehicle), than he driver's side.

Is it possible that the wheel hub was bent upward or distorted the knuckle assembly in the process of the wheel walking off the hub?

I've taken it to a local mechanic who installed a 1/4 inch shim/steel plate to the strut tower thinking that would even out the ride height difference...however no luck.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am inclined to purchase a new knuckle assembly, hub and wheel bearings to troubleshoot the issue but would prefer not to given the cost and huge PIA of redoing a wheel bearing.

Thanks in advance. Chris
