What would cause this?

After a emergenncy brake change, the wheel wobbles. I pulled and check the wheel to see if it was cocked but it is not. ...no issues with the disk brake and it seems to track OK. ''caliper is on tight too

Could this be a bent mag wheel, bad wheel bearing or something else?


I will swap rear wheele side to side to see if the problem swaps sides.

Bent wheel, bent axle, when you say emergency it makes me think you were rushed when you did the work. Go back and check everything

i went through this exact same thing as with my 94 Formula. i thought it was the wheels and checked everything twice. it was the driver side axle shaft bent to hell.

if the axel is bent, would the brake rotor track correctly?


my car has a slight grinding noise too. Could this be only a bad wheel bearing?

I would think the rotor would wobble if the axle was bent, seeing as it is bolted directly to it. The grinding could be a bad wheel bearing though. This could cause the axle to moving in a weird way in the axle tube causing the wobble. But it might not look bad to your eye with out the weight of the car on it, or a load against the bearing.

What happened first, the e-brake cable problem or the wheel wobble?

If the e-brake issue happened first, and after the repair, your wheel wobbles, I agree with "1BADO2WS6", you didn't get something tightened up correctly. If the wheel wobbled before the e-brake "repair", you've got some other issue.

You may want to define "the wheel wobbles" a little more clearly. Does it physically wobble with the car in the air, or does it feel "wobbly" when driving. If it feels wobbly when driving, a belt could have shifted in the tire.

How diffucult is it to change a rear wheel bearing on a 99 solid axle?

make sure the brake rotor is flush with the axle hub and not snug on something
