Hi and welcome to CF from Tj...sounds like you bent an axle possibly. Pull it and check to see if its "True" ...Tj

If you simply replaced the wheel, your tire might be damaged aswell. The sidewall of the tire could be torn on the inside and it makes it out of round. Apon inspection you might not have noticed the damage as it is inside the structor of the tire.


Make sure that a balancing weight on your brake drum is not caught inbetween the wheel and the surface at which the wheel rested on the drum. I have seen this happen and make the wheel wobble like crazy but you cant tell unless you look at it in your mirrur while driving.

just some ideas.

If it is, its the axle shaft, just if his axle tube was bent then the wheel would have a bunch of camber, or toe.

bari65, it sounds like you need to take the vehicle to a shop and have them take a look at it, if they cant find the issue with the axle then I suggest you inspect the tire closer to see if its out of round.
