My brother was driving my van a few nights ago and he said the back end started "sliding", the end result is the driver side rear wheel assembly hub broke off. Im trying to determine if thats what may have caused the accident, and second, I just had it aligned in October so wouldnt the machine have caught a problem? Also the ABS light started coming on a couple weeks ago, I didnt now that detected a wheel assembly problem, thought it was just the tire pressure, and last, since the alignment, my van had slowly started pulling to the left. I also need to know what all parts Im going to need to repair it! Thanks for any advice you can give.

Alignment normally deals with front end not back however some cars have a 4 wheel alignment so it might have been caught as they normally won't do the alignment. The abs light may be on because of the wheel hub as it may not have been getting agood signal but a pro should check that to make sure it was that wheel along with the sensor. We have no pics of this wheel setup I am sending the only thing we have for this car.
