approx 3 months ago my front passenger rim got bent and there was a bad vibration. and i talked to a mechanic and he said it would be ok to put that rim on the back. so now its on the back driver side. i needed a quick solution cuz i didnt have funds to buy anything because i was in the middle of a move. but today on my way to work theres a rattleing noise coming from the rear driver side. do you think it may be from that rim? or what would it be. its real nasty sounding

My rim on my galant was bent also. I took it to my mechanic and all he did was take off the tire and bend it back with a hammer. Or you could go to the junk yard and buy a used rim.

You can't bend back mags, you can only do that with steelies. To fix a mag, you need to bring it to a mag repair place.

The rattling isn't from the rim, take the wheel off and poke around, I'm sure you'll find something loose if the noise is that bad.

#1 i doubt he has mag rims. mag rims cost a LOT.
#2 you can bend back cast aluminum, but carefully because they do crack. forged aluminum alloy also can be bent but i wouldnt, because its so hard that it probably will crack.

well fellas i found out what it was. it was my muffler. theres like a metal sheet that surrounds it and i saw it hangin there and vibrating against the rest of the muffler making the noise. so im guessing i need to get a new muffler. any ideas of good mufflers? but nothing like a fart can. i hate those.

oh and thanks for all the help with the whole rim thing. i still need to get that fixed

OEM or full catback from a decent company.

im guessing it was the heatshield? Just take that crap off.......there's one on the stock exhaust manifold too. Those tend to rattle loose after a while.

as for the rim take it to a rim repair shop, it may cost some cash but they usually do a "like new job" if your that worried about it. I just bent two wheels(5zigen's) on my scion, popped the damn tires, took a block of wood and hammer to them and made it look a little better. They still hold air so its all good. Cant expect to much from daily driven wheels. I guess it depends on how bad of a "bend" you put on the rim. I just bent the lip. But if your whole wheel is warped well then i can see why its making noise.

also since you bent the rim, im assuming you hit something fairly decent sized. Maybe check your alignment and/or look at your suspension maybe you bent or tweaked a suspension arm.

you dont want a fart can? get a RSR exmag I.
