OK, put a 9" in my car. Prior to installation I found the passenger side end housing was wallowed out. Should of measured 3.150, it was at 3.175. Had end housing replaced but never had axles checked.
I had these same rims on my ten bolt with no vibrations at all, so I am ruling out bent rim. I followed my wife yesterday to see how the rear looked as far as centering and noticed immediately the passenger tire was wobbling bad. My guess is the axle is bent which is what caused the end housing to be enlarged. Thoughts?

I'll be pulling the axle soon and have it checked.. I've had the balance checked on the tires 3 times this last week, if it was the rim, I am sure they would of noticed it during balancing.
Vid shows drivers side first, then passenger side..

im pretty sure the pass axle on mine is bent as well. not as bad as your though. noticed it on the dyno a while ago. havent gotten around to replacing it

yea it is axles in these cars bend pretty easy even in the 9" or 12 bolt but only if you smack something. so someone had an encounter with a curb before you

certainly looks bent to me from watching your video!

Yep, someone did something before I bought it. I just ran it for a minute without tires, obvious wobble. I have maybe 20 miles on the rear. Knew something didn't feel right. Time to look into new axles.

Confirmed at the shop today. Axle is bent.. Ordering new ones.. So much for a good deal on a used rear end..
