Rear wheel wobbling...
 
My rear wheel is wobbling and i'm not sure why.

I don't feel anything out of the ordinary when driving, but then again, with solid motor mounts, an ETB, a diff brace, and a tranny brace, my ass vibrates already. i did jack the rear up and put it in gear to make sure and it is definitely wobbly, compared to the other side.

It makes a ch, ch, ch, sound as the wheel moves around. not sure if it is the pad just rubbing, or something to do with the bearing.

It could have been like this for a while, and i just never noticed, but i do want to fix it.

The car hasn't been slid into a curb or anything, to my knowledge, but i've had it for 3 years and its 15 years old so...

Suspension components should be fine, i replaced the trailing arms and toe links with Kazama parts not to long ago.

Any suggestions on what it might be, or how i should fix it? A friend told me i should have the hub clearance checked, cause it might be out of wack, but i figured i would post up here and just ask some opinions.

Thanks

i'd start by taking off the wheel. look for any corrosion, dirt, etc. on the wheel or hub. then remount being sure to tighten the lug nuts in the proper pattern and to the proper torque.
see if that helps.

Check your Axle nut, which retains your axle to the Hub but it also puts the proper pre- load on the wheel bearing, if it is loose you will have a bad wheel bearing for sure. Supposed to be tightened to 200+ftlbs.
