As stated I am trying to figure out what the problem is, i just purchsed a 96 Integra rs hatch 5 speed and i finally narrowed it down that the wobble goes all the way down to the hub. I noticed wheel wobble then I tried to shake it top and bottom and also side to side there is no play what so ever. Tires are new axle are new, so I took wheel off and I noticed the rotor had a wobble because I started car with wheel off and put it in gear and seen the rotor wobble and it was wobbling the brake pads and caliper. Then I took all brake parts off as well as rotor and hub wobbles. Like i said there is no play what so ever and axles are new. Now I'm thinking that it's either the hub is bent or or bad or wheel bearing is bad. I'm assuming I should just replace both I'm just trying to see if there is a way i can figure it out where maybe it's just one I'll need. I need some professional help or someone who's been through this. I keep getting mixed advice and thats the reason i check all other parts before so i can get a answer at this point narrowed down to hub or bearing. thanks for all your help and replies if any.

Id say you need a hub. I would definatly replace the bearing as well anytime the hub is removed though. If the bearing was wobbling and not the hub you would be able to feel play. The axle has nothing to do with it as long as the axle nut is not loose.

I would also be concerned how the hub got bent in the first place... are all your wheels not bent, and how is the spindle and tie rods. Sometimes you cant see the damage until you cant figure out why you cant get the alignment right.

The tie rod ends inner and outer are good on both sides, I can't say how it may have got bent if it is the car has a nice dent in the fender on that side but isn't the wheels because I swapped it out with the one from the back with a fresh tire to make sure that wasnot the case. You mentioned spindle, isn't that the whole piece that the hub is pressed into? If the spindle was bent or damaged that wouldn't make the hub wobbles would it? Im not saying hub is bent it hs a wobble. The wheels have no damage like that to say thst the shelf bent the hub from running into something. I just dont know at this point especially now that you mention spindle. I think I may just find a good used spindle somewhere and have a new hub and bearing installed so eveythjng is fresh. the last thing I need is to spend all this money on hub and bearing to be pressed in and the spindle is bad or bent. Thanks for your help I think that's what I'm gonna do just to be sure.
