Hi Scott.
Try switching the wheels from left to right side and see if the wobble goes with it.
If not, look for a worn tie rod end or other suspension component.
If wobble goes to left side, look for bent rim.
Cheers.
I assume that the wobble is side to side and not up and down. The most benign cause of wheel wobble is a bent tire rim; but since you've tried another wheel and still get the wobble, the cause could be a bent housing, bad bearing, a number of things. In any case, if you don't get it fixed, a castastrophic failure is likely to happen. The rear axle is semi-floating; the axle and wheel are held on only by the pressed-on bearing and a small circlip. See a mechanic ASAP.
are the lug nuts tight? If so you may want to remove the wheel to inspect more thoroughly as that is serious - you may have a possible broken lug bolt - hard to say more without more details. : Possible bent rim? Loose half shaft (depending on if front or rear?) Bearing on the spindle could be shot if on the rear.. best regards Ck
check wheel lug nuts to insure both rear wheels are tight. you may have a bad tire on one side or other,have someone watch car from rear when you're driving it to pinpoint the wheel thats wobbling. that will narrow the search.a warped rim may be the problem,if so install your spare and look at used parts places for another rim and tire to install.hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com
