Check under the car to see if the rear axle is bent or damaged. If all looks good ,
,jack the rear wheel in the air and spin the wheel. If the wobble is still there, check the lugs that heyare tightened proper. It is easy to put the wheel on crooked. If all else fails the wheel itself is bent and needs replaced

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..

Right front wheel shimmy

i don't know. you might consider switching front tires
to see if that helps. also try rear wheels for testing.
unlikely but perhaps by moving a rim from 12 to 6 position [ or similar] on rotor may have very small effect.

I have Toyota 2006 sienna and front right wheel shakes or wobbles ... I have new front tires and balanced.. but still wobbles a little...please any thoughts?

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 have an 2001 Chevy Cavalier. About 3 months ago, going about 60 I hit a center block in the road. Tire blew out and had to replace. Now the car shakes especially in the steering wheel. Also feels like...

sounds like you also damaged tie rod ends and possibly your cv axle as well. a chuck of concrete like that will cause bad damage. put car on hoist and have a close look

What causes the car to wobble side to side at the get go

your suspension, or a bent rim,or a bubble, where your tire is separating. jack your car up, put a jack stand under it, spin your tire, watch for wobble(this will tell you,if its your wheel, or tire. while in the air grab the front and rear of tire pull, and push oppisites, then do the same with the top and bottom, there should be no play. if there is, its your suspension.

Front Left side wobbly and there is a squeeky noise when driving

Have you checked the tires ?
Sometimes a wobble can be a broken belt inside the tire tread.
Or it could be something loose in the hub.
You could also switch the front and rear tire to see if the wobble moves.

My front right tire wobbles on my 2000 chevy cavalier but my tire is new

It wobbles? like when your driving it vibrates and stuff. If so its not your tire. It could be anything. Loose lug nuts. Bad Hub assembly. Suspension. Brakes. or if it really is the tire. it might be out of round. or need to be rotated to the back of the vehicle

The driver rear tire wables when driving

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.

96 saturn right rear tie rod bent bad

i would have the shock/spring checked out as I'm sure that's whacked. and potentially the wheel bearing causing the wobble. the rim / tire may also have damage causing a wobble. the wobble could also be caused by a simple wheel balance weight having been knocked off from the accident...have the tire balanced at a shop....2nd jack up the side. swap the front wheel and put it in the rear and spin it...this will tell you if there is more structural damage to the rear suspension. being the above listed. As far as the ball joints, usually they will be fine or snap.
