Noises problem
2000 Mazda RX7 Two Wheel Drive 44000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
i was turning right and i pressed the throttle a bit to spin the wheels. as i straightened the car, i heard a grinding noise coming out of the back right wheel. i stopped and pressed the cover around the disc on the wheel and the noise went away.
it now looks like the wheel is tilting outwards more than the other side- in the sense that it is not straight. the car drives fine, but i just want to kno if it is something that will cause problems in the long run.

Hi there,

You better check that the bearing is not failing, jack up the wheel and feel for any play up/down there should be none. If the bearing is faulty or there is something bent, you will destroy the tyre very quickly. get it checked.
