Lol, I'd have to say hardly trashed...
Mine looked like a ball of yarn when I changed it
Ahh-ha!
Discovered what was causing all the thumping noises... not the bearing as expected, but the guibo!
It's the original one as it has a bmw stamp in the part, seems to be spilling its innards everywhere!
Nice and quiet now, and much smoother on the motorway too

I'm only guessing but it looks like it was installed the wrong way. The thicker parts of the disc should be compressed when the car is going forward and the thinner parts of the disc compressed when reversing. I'm only guessing here, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
The 6 bolt holes are not evenly spaced anymore. My old one also looked like a ball of yarn, but the bolt holes were still evenly spaced.
THat's at 130k! Go easy on the road racing man.

yep that one looks like it was installed out of phase, theres little arrows around the rim, point the arrow to the part of the flange the coupler is bolted to
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Are you going to take a vague photo of it and put it on eBay like everyone else does?Originally Posted by Ferret
"Bought this for my car but found the old one wasn't so bad and the problem was something else... Bargain orginal BMW Guibo...starting at only $50 it is half the price of a new one..." LOL

I thought if it is installed the wrong way it would be destroyed in no time, not after 130k miles.Originally Posted by winfred

That's far from destroyed - its out of round implying improper alignment.Originally Posted by yaofeng
