    Hey all, so I just installed my 1" wheel spacers this weekend and had my alignment done this afternoon. driving home I noticed the driver side rear wheel/tire had a slight wobble.

    When I got home I jacked up the rear and got underneath to inspect. The tie-rod ends all seem tight and snug, the wheel doesn't move side to side or back and forth so doesn't seem like its bearings. when I spin the tire, you can tell it's moving uneven when I look down on it from the top. Did a test by switching the rear driver side wheel with the passenger. Get the same outcome with the passenger side wheel so I know the wheel isn't bent. Does this sound like a bent axel, or could it be something else?

    The movement is just about 1/2 inch or less but definitely enough to notice when driving.

    When you swapped the wheels did you switch the spacers? Could something be caught behind the spacer, or could the spacer be machined poorly? Look at the rotor while spinning it, does the rotor appear wobble?

    Good call @zuke . Sounds like the drivers rear spacer may not be seated completely.
