A friend had a small fender binder, scuffed the fender onto a truck bumper which caused the wheel to bend, broke the caliper line, knuckle, axle came apart from inside boot and bent the stabilizer link. Changed all parts and all looked good. Upon putting the car in drive while wheel still on stands there was a whine noise and a bit of grind while putting it into drive, let the wheel turn but I doubt it did, then turned car off and found inside boot grease all over. I am thinking either I tightened the axle volt too much or didn't insert the axle all the way in from the inside side. What is the torque on axle bolt from rotor side? When I inserted the axle I hammered it from the outside side where the nut goes in, not sure if that could cause any damage to the inside boot, which I doubt as I installed several axles before.
