Wheel Wobble? - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Hey guys, I cannot figure out what the heck is going on in my axle. Wheel wobbles a good inch on the rear driver side. I replaced the axle shaft, and swapped wheels, and it still does it. What kind of other things could make a wheel do that? Theres absolutely no play in the axle, like the shaft to the bearing clearance, we had the rear in the air, unmoving, so its not a control arm or anything like that. The only thing I can think of is that maybe both wheels I tried were bent (although it spins true on the front) or a bearing, or I dont know.

Best bet is to remove the wheel and drum (do NOT hit the brakes with the drum off!!) and see if the axle flange wobbles. Or maybe the housing, as it may be bent.

If this has a drum to disc conversion does the rotor sit square on the axle flange. Sometimes need to reduce the OD of the axle flange for the disc hat to seat on.
