Wheel snapped off with brakes
So question, wheel snapped off my Z and took rotor, caliper and lugs too. The wheel, which had all attached was stolen lol... Soooo what the heck holds the wheel to the strut? What components are needed to replace that wheel and brake setup.
Or better yet, anbody have a manual showing this cause I'm trying to make this **** work lol

OP, the wheel is bolted to the hub, and the hub is pressed into the knuckle. The knuckle is attached to the front lower control arm, and the upper control arm. Post up a pic of what is gone, and we can tell you what you replace. Although I can't imagine that those are the only things damaged... driving with a wheel falling off is pretty extreme. |

Wow, I just searched your old threads OP and saw the pictures of the damage. Looks like you need just about everything replaced on that front axle. Knuckle, control arm, strut.... Whoever stole all that once it broke off must of been strong cuz all that would have been heavy as hell, assuming it was still all attached in one piece.
