My tire wobbles from side to side what could it be

Could be control arm bushings
Sway bar links
Wheel bearing
Ball joints
Rack and pinion
Lift car and shake the tire from side to side, then top to bottom. Any play or wobble means parts are worn and need to be replaced

repair all the worn suspension parts and have a wheel alignment done

Check the lower ball joints, lower control arm bushings, sway bar links, and sway bar bushings to the frame. Could be a broken sway bar also.

Tires...rear suspension...rear alignment - in that order. I had a car with a really bad rear alignment that hop sideways every time you went over a bump in the road.

have u had your car lined up at a aliment shop if not your toe end and camber could be not adjusted right

The first thing to check on a rattling noise is if going over minor bumps in the road if that is when it makes noise is a sway bar link, they make a rattling noise. If you raise that wheel up you might also want to try and wobble the wheel to be sure it is not a tie rod end or ball joint. Typically I run into the sway bar links or the sway bar bushings making the noise. However ive even seen it be a rock sitting on the strut plate.

Hello, that could be one of several things. It could be a worn out bushing, sway bar link, or your strut assembly itself. With the nose of the car raised off the ground, wiggle the front tires. If there is excessive wobble it is likely to be one of the suspension components.

jack the truck up so tire are off the ground then get and 3 or 4 foot pry bar or strong pipe and put under tire lift up on bar if the tire moves up and down replace balljoints of not check for bad bushings on your shocks sway bars sway bar end links upper and lower control arm if equip.

most of the time, it's the trac bar bushing. if it's worn, you can death wobble over 40 mph. replace it with a polyurethane bushing.

Rim may have a dent or a weel balance weight may have fallen off.

Have the balance checked before your tires develop abnormal wear.
