For example, how would I say "my dad's old car's broken wheel"? Where does the
adjective go w.r.t the の particle? 父の古い車の駄目な車輪 ? Is it right for the adjective
to appear near の? It sounds odd

question
particle-の adjectives
How to use adjectives to qualify nouns in between the の particle?
It does sound odd, but is correct. Having said that, I think that you could
probably avoid saying all that. What might the context of the sentence be?
Remember that Japanese expects the listener to use context to help translate.
You could break your sentence in two, so you talk about your dad's old car in
the first sentence and then talk about the broken wheel in the second.

answer
> my dad's old car's broken wheel  
>  父の古い車の駄目な車輪

I think it's okay, grammatically speaking at least.

You could use 壊れた for "broken", though, like:

> 父の古い車の壊れた車輪

* * *

父の壊れた古い車の車輪 would normally be interpreted as "wheels of my dad's broken old
car".
