fiat coupe/cracked wheel flange - tartan1
Not a coupe query as such! I've recently had new discs and tyres but was experiencing brake judder. Went to a different garage for tracking and balancing reckeck and they noticed that my osf flange (where the wheel bolts into) had a slight bulge and crack. Also when removing the wheel from this side a bolt sheared as it was in too tight! Could someone tell me if

1) It's a problem that needs sorting asap to avoid any further damage?
2) Could the tight screw be the cause of the crack in the first place?

Thanks

Yes replace before the crack spreads out any further, did you whack a kerb? if so check other steering items for bent parts etc.
