I have a wobble in the rear of my voyager, and it gets worse after travelling a distance. What could be the problem?

Had it checked, but it started to wobble and drag again

Could be you have a bad steel belt on one of your rear tires. The belts in the tire are like embedded steel mesh. Sometimes they slip out of place on old tires. Could also be a loose lug nut or stripped out post that it screws onto. Hope that helps.

Testimonial: "Apparently, the rear brakes had not been assembled properly she shoes were not sitting in the groove properly. It was good for a while, then it started again. he said my tires were not that great, but did not say they needed replacing. I am lost for solutions. If I drive for a while, shut it off for 10 minutes, then get back in to drive, it seems worse. It is also vibrating while in neutral. I think the tranny is ok, but not 100% sure."

1998 voyager front tires wobble back and forth when jacked up. Is it tie rod or ball bearing?

If it wobbles with your hands at 9 and 3, its a tie rod end.
If it wobbles with your hands at 12 and 6, its a wheel bearing.

2000 Ford F150 rear differential fluid VANISHING

This is different. In a perfect world, you would run the truck on a dynamometer, get it up to 55 MPH and look under the truck. The fluid is going somewhere.
There is a vent tube on most axles. Follow the tube to find its' end and see if the fluid is traveling away from where you had expected a leak. Check your axle shafts under the rear rotors to see if the Emergency brake drum is oil coated.
Another way to think about this is the original failure. The pinion seal. The seal contacts the rotating flange. If you have a wobble in the driveshaft, (balance issues, U-joints) then the rotating flange can wobble. If you have a bad pinion bearing or carrier bearing, it can work to make the spline gear wobble.
So I am suggesting that the leaking Pinion seal was caused by something and the seal was a casualty of an undetermined cause.
You should be able to add an Ultra-violet dye to the axle fluid to find your leak. Even if it is running from the same place, the current leak will be showing the UV dye.
Please rate my info.

HAS A BAD WOBBLE IN REAR. HAD KNOT IN ONE TIRE. HAD TWO USED TIRES MOUNTED & BALANCED, PUT THEM ON & PROBLEM REMAINED, MAYBE A LITTLE WORSE NOW

Rotate the tires and see if it follows. If it does then u need tires or u might have a bent rim. If it doesn't then check u joints, leaf springs, u bolts, bushings.

I do not see anything about the tires in your description of the problem. Might look into those things because they are what cause "speed related" issues when you drive.

I have a 1996 Plym. Grand Voyager, hesitation & stalling.

If it works well at speed and acts up when slowing or stopped it doesn't sound like fuel filter or pump. You can try running injector cleaner through the engine to clean the carborator injectors or fuel injectors if you have those. Look at replacing the plugs and wires on the motor.

Steering wheel wobbles while driving

If it seems to happen more when rounding a curve than on the straight, it may be your CV joint. I'm not sure but I think you can replace the half shaft that connects the wheel to the engine. Otherwise, you may have to find a press to press out the old one. It's kinda like a U-joint on rear wheel drive cars. Or it could be the tire out of balance, bad tire, bad stabalizer bar. Gonna have to jack it up and get under it and start shaking stuff to find out what's loose. GOod luck and have fun....
