She looks mad. I wonder why?

I don't see the rotor. I think you are looking at the dust shield.



Wasn't talking about the dust shield

It isn't very clear, so I definitely COULD be wrong, however, the same angle on my truck (admittedly, a much higher quality picture) shows:

With the rotor being black due to it being "shiny". Should be more obvious with the flash at night I would think

I was just looking at the 2nd picture he posted and it all looked rusty in the same area, hence the origin of my comment.

Is the alignment that far off or is she making a turn?


Malignment.

But not the right ones for this particular Expedition. Looks like you wreckered yourself a wheel eh?

Were you doing some 4x4 "drifting" that resulted in a broken wheel by chance?

Yeah, I sure am due to get two matching wheels for that SIDE. One was on it since forever; passenger front. (It seems recognizable to be a spare, maybe. Not sure.) The other one would replace this one.. that was the closest match could be found. OVERKILL, an interesting thing that happened, and possibly misinformation: The yards kept saying that "There is supposed to be a 16" wheel on this truck." I told them it was an Eddie Bauer, 1999. They again said "It looks like those must be from a later year." I showed a picture of the P265/70R17 tires. I also saw someone on Craigslist selling the same-looking wheels/tires - from a 1998 EB, supposedly - for $450. In Lodi NJ. Money still tight and $450 no have.. any info on if those yards were wrong?

And let me post up the other side pic. Of the "two" wheels I need to buy. For the other side.

And no, I have no idea why wires are hanging by the diff (*though my imagination says it looks like a trailer wiring harness, perhaps for brake lights on a trailer.. not sure why they woupd hang like that, if it is that, I do not know.) There are also wires hanging by driver door. Somethibg about it was "vandalized" in a part of Newark NJ close to Elizabeth NJ by some ghetto family once. Not sure this city's obsession with screwing with other people's cars, but... (somewhat) unrelated to the city's [censored] UP car scene - the "ticket AND tow," as the Honda was, apparently not illegal.. the STOLEN Honda, - illegal, but common, and almost an accepted fact and point of pride.. the vandalism, and smashed windows, even in "Renaissance" areas of the city, like where we live, "High Street District." Must be new.. they even put a sign.. [censored] the car thefts, "we have a sign to make It look appealing".. then we WILL be moving. Rent is cheap(er) here and we struggle with it. Can't get it, though, because we both work and "make too much money" - defined as more than $1100 a year/month. So why even bother applying TRA..

And I am sorry, fellas, but I have to remain silent about that wheel.

Here is the correct side, that I have to buy a 17" wheel. I know its 5x135 (5x135mm?,) from my adventure. Wearing P265/70R17. It is 7.5" wheel width? And what kind of material/finish are these?

Where is the rest of the rotor?! How could it have gotten that bad? And most of all, when you were installing that used rim, how could you not notice half your rotor missing??! Wow. I just can't...
