Might have been me, I found a loose bolt on passenger side hub. Did not really have bad wobble though, but sure need to check those things out. I tightened it up. I think that the bearings in the hub are not great, i still have the 12 and 6 o:clock tire shake. And ddriving down the road i get a kindof skip to the right if i hit a train track or steel plate. Used the 13mm 12 point socket fits those hub bolts.

I had a bad bearing and it made a nasty noise but not and wobbleing. But I guess it could make it shake a little
