[alfa] axle shaft help

[Scott Johnson <scott@xxxxxxxx>]

I've been having a persistent squeak (more like a chirp acutally) coming 
from my driver's side rear brake ever since I changed the pads & disk. 
When I pulled the wheel off to hit it with some anti-squeal, I noticed 
it did seem to drag a bit, but not evenly... 
drag-smooth-drag-smooth-drag-smooth-drag-smooth. When I looked through 
the caliper the disk seemed to be wobbling back and forth about 1-2mm. 
However, when I pulled the passenger side wheel I noticed it, too, 
seemed to wobble a bit, but only about half as much.

I had remove the old left-hand thread studs and replace them with 
"normal" right hand thread ones (nut had failed, and getting the nut off 
destroyed the original). Not thinking anything of it, I used a hammer.

Did I end up bending the flange? Do they all do this? Or am I just 
looking at the consequences of some curb whack in the past 33 years?

Other than the annoying squeak, the car drives fine. No vibrations to 
speak of at all.
