rls120 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Maybe not. A warped drum is more likely to cause brake grabbing than wheel wobble. Check your tire for slipped belts (if you're running radials) or lumps if not running radials. Check your tire balance. Then run it in gear with the rear wheels raised and watch the wheel, looking for visible runout. Try swapping out the spare to see if that improves the problem. You could also temporarily swap the rear drums side as a way to check for a warped drum if you think thats what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You will have to determine if the hub is bent, or the wheel, or what. Maybe the wheel is not seated correctly on the hub. Check it before you drive the car.If the wheel is bent most good tire shops can straighten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
