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

SOURCE: 2000 Hyundai Sonata front end wobbles.

put the front tires on the back and see if it changes.
alot of times,if the suspension is defective it wears the tires uneven ,out of round.
check and make sure the wheel nuts are tight and torqued properly.
alot of techs use just the gun,and not a torque stick and overtighten the wheel nuts.

yes make sure your lug nuts are all tight and the wheels are seated properly on the hubs, if they are tight bring the car to a tire shop and have them balance the two front tires, this will tell you if you have a bent wheel please rate -jeff

SOURCE: steering wheel wobble between 5-30 mph. and again at over 50mph

What did you find out about the Front End? Check your Brake Caliper on that side. Sounds like it might be Grabbing a Bit.

SOURCE: 2004 Jeep wrangler steering wobble

I had the same problem on my 04 tj, if you have a lift or larger tires it happens frequently, they call it the "death wobble" buy steering stabilizers, there's one that replaces the factory one and there's another one that is supplemental and it goes a little bit below the stock one..... i got mine on quadratec.com for like $60 and i dont get any wobble anymore

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

Right front side wobbling real bad. someone said something about some kind of "arms" connected to the tires. what are they called?

Lower control arms. There are two bushings that are at the frame, if these are gone then it is possible for it to wobble. I would also check the wheel bearing and ball joint. To check these lift the tire off the ground. For the bearing grab the tire top and bottom push it in and out, if there is any movement the bearing is worn. If these are worn enough they to will cause a wobble. For the lower ball joint have someone put a 2 X 4 under the tire and lift as you watch the ball joint. if it moves up and down in the socket it is bad. All these together can cause a significant wobble. The lower control arm mounts to the frame and the lower ball joint is mounted to the lower control arm at the tire and the bearing is the part that holds the tire on.

My rear right side tire is wobbling on my cheverlote cavalier?

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

2000 Chevy Cavalier making a noise when air is shut off

This problem sounds like the aircompressor pully, the bearing is shot.
With the engine running and the air conditioner off there is a grinding noise, look at the compressor pully, does it wobble? Then turn on the air conditioner and the noise stops, look at the compressor pully again, the wobble stops? If so that's the problem.

Wobble when accelerating

U NEED TO HAVE THE CV JOINTS CHECKED FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR, ALSO ROTATE THE TIRES AND SEE IF THAT HELPS, A SEPERATED TIRE CORD CAN CAUSE THIS WALLOW.
