I have had this issue for a while now, but its to the point where it seems like the tire is gonna fall off. I have replaced the shocks, mounts, wheel bearing, brakes, tires and still cant figure out the problem. Every time taking curves to the left i get lots of vibration and a wobble from the passanger rear tire. It doesnt matter if im going 10mph or 70mph.

At a stop, I can actually wiggle the tire back and fourth with my hands and get alot of play, It seems like its the hub itself that has play but how? I dont know whats left to replace? Is there another bearing other than the sealed bearing that i replaced? Both sides have play but the passenger side is terriable.

Thanks for any info
Brian

wow, you mean you can actually move the rear tire when its stopped?! holy shit, thats pretty bad ..unless you mean the steering wheel.. er

by move, do you mean around the hub? or like.. as though the tire is turning... like rear wheel steering..?

sorry i cant be of mroe help.. id try to just take off the wheel and look whats moving..have you tried looking at the strut mounting area? like the strut moving around, etc? i know its hard cuz its in the trunk but if its been in an accident, maybe its been dented/torn? idk

If you kneel down in front of the tire and put both hands on top the tire and push/pull on the tire there seems to be "play" somewhere between the hub and the suspension. Even with the rotor and tire off there is "play"

Thanks for checking it out cause im stumped on this issue. I do know the quarter panel was replaced so maybe something is bent in relation to an accident somewhere in the suspension, but i looked underneath and didnt see any damage (compaired to the other side) all though I know something smaller than the human eye can notice can cause something to be out of balance.
