anyone ever seen a rear drum warp so bad that the wheel wobbles?
i thought it was the stub axle was bent and had it replaced but the wheel still wobbles.
they are brand new rims so i know the rim is straight.
any ideas of stuff to look for that might cause this.
thanks

I had the same problem on my 1971 1302L few years ago.The wheel bearing was completely worn.I replace it and now it is O.K. :)

when you where driving did it look like the wheel was wobbling?
when i jack up the car there is no wobble like when a bearing is bad.
it feels very solid

jack it up, put your hands at 12:00 and 6:00 and push/pull in opposite directions. if it has play, your bearings are bad. also make sure the drum is seating properly.

thats what i meant with the car off the ground there is no play in any direction.
when i find my 36mm socket i'll pull off the hub and have a look to see if it's on properly or if it's warped.
thanks guys :agree:

Well I didn`t notice any vobbling by my self.A friend drove behined me and told me about vobbling.First I suspected on tire than wheel,drum and after that I realised that the problem was in the bearing.
