i've changed the wheel bearing, changed the caliper, new axle. the only thing i haven't done is change the brake pads, or the rotors.

Can it be that the rotor is warp or can it be the i need a new spindles cause the spindle is bent? i hit a curb pretty hard too a few months ago and now it finally act weird on me after i've change the wheel bearing.

any help will help me alot. thanks i.a.

I don't think the rotor would be bent from him hitting something with the wheel on ....It's hard to tell in the pic but is the rotor butted up flush I was looking at the wheel studs to see if it was but your VID is hard to tell ...

You could have the wheel bearing not in correct or the hub in crooked also ... I would re check your work and see before I change random parts.

The hub seems to be bent to me... just make sure the bearing is pressed in right as well.

Make sure the matting surface for the back of the rotor is clean and free of rust. If thats good pick up a rotor there pretty cheap. Can't really tell a lot from the video but the bearing nut doesn't look to be wobbling. If the spindle was bent it wouldn't wobble it would stay at a set angle.

Good luck

i think you might be right cause i change the rotor from the other side on and it still does the same thing. plus the prev. owner of the car changed it to integra brake front and back. so i didn't know and being stupid i went and got a civic wheel bearing for it and had the shop put it on. Is it cause of the wrong wheel bearing that is causing the wobbling?

the rotor would crack or break not "bend". but take the rotor back off and spin it from there and see if the hub is bent. which is probably what it would be. and a wheel bearing can only go in one way.

ok i went and look up the wheel bearing for civic and integra and they both seems to be the same. they are same sizes and stuff like that. so can it really be the bearing then? don't really wanna waste the money to do it if it uses the same bearing

I looked up the wheel bearings at autozone.com and they are the same. Part # 510030.

Ether the disk isn't sitting flat on the matting surface or the bearings are not sitting right. Or it could be a really warped rotor.

yea bearing is the same. take the hub off and inspect it and go from there. but once you do that your going to have to get a new bearing anyways bc 100% of the time the race from the bearing needs to be cut off or heated off one you take it apart. so you cant reuse the bearing and need to get a new one. and while its off take a look at the hub and rotor and see for any visual defects. like put the rotor on a flat surface. and its pretty much self explanatory the rotor sit on the hub. and since its a civic the rotor should have two bolts that bolt on to the hub. and as you can see in the video it wobbles.
