Just a note..
Rear Passenger Side Hub to suit Non Turbo 1991 MR2

My Mr2 Sits on wide 9.5 deep dish rims. There is a bit of stress on the hubs.

At first, I thought my brake system just needed a flush. Everytime i came to a stop, I would need to pre-emptive the brake pressure just to make sure they worked.
What was happening was that the rear passenger hub (probably axle) has failed. The axle nut is still attached but required tightening (this is a sign of failure as the axle nut is held by a cotter pin and should NEVER come loose). Another give away is the brake dust.

When the car was at a complete stop with the handbrakes applied, the wheel looked normal. Drive around the block and come to a stop without using the brakes, you will notice the freeplay in the wheel. What was holding the wheel was the brake pads.
