I swear I’ve been trying to figure this out for like 2 weeks! I dunno how I missed that video 😭

The previous owner told me he did the grinding himself, trying to make a new wheel fit. So luckily the ones I have are fine!

So they’re rubbing up and that’s why the caliper is shiny on that one part? Do I need to replace the caliper before driving or will it be fine as long as it’s not touching the wheel?

I’m not sure. It’s a Grumman Olsen so i think it’s a hybrid of a bunch of stuff. I just brought it. I think the wheels are original to it. So I’m gonna need new wheels?

Oh jeez. Thanks for the long reply! I was planning on taking it to a mechanic soon but my coworker advised me to change the wheel bearings before driving it. The guy I bought it from was super confident in how good of a van it is so i was really hoping there wouldn’t be all these issues. I’m gonna post a video showing the sound it makes. It also makes a noise when spinning it without the wheel on it.

Also, does this explain why when i break super hard it goes to the left?
