Noise in the rear of my Silverado bent rim?

[87_Pioneers]

It happend last night we were out being idiots in a field :fs2: and I hit a washboard area and now I have a on and off scraping noise when driving I haven't looked at it to hard but I think I bent the rim unless any body else has some idea of what I did?Any input would be great I'm going to look at it later today and hopefully figure it out.

Mud in the rear drum brakes??? Id say if it was a bent rim that bad you would for sure notice more than just a scraping noise while driving.

Aluminum wheels?

 

Look for cracks. I have seen a few chevy 3/4 and 1 tons with al wheels that have cracked.

Depending on disc/drum, you might have just bent the backing plate. I know when I do breaks on my roommate's Chevy 1500, I always manage to eff up the backing plate hammering the rotor off, and spend 3 hours trying to get it bent back perfect and stop the noise.

I have been there but luckly mine has disks the owner before me (my grandpa) took it to a brake place and they put the wrong hardware kit on it so the slider came off and was rubbing the disks was the problem.
