frown.gif Our 6G has a rear wheel that feels as if it's wobbling, even at 30mph. Had new tires put on and one was warped--bent rim. Bought a new rim (finally). It still felt the same. Next "expert" says it just needs the wheels balanced properly and new alignment. OK. Still doing the same thing. It's my daughter's car and I need to get it fixed before she comes home for her next visit. I suspect that she hit numerous curbs while in col[font=Arial]lege in Chicago. Any ideas? Should I be thinking bent frame or axle and taking it to a frame shop?

shake the wheel/tire left and right see if there is any play then up and down. that will tell you what is wrong usually.
