could be the tires balanced, or maybe you didnt torque the lug nuts correctly...or just have a bent rim to begin with...first thing id do is check to make sure torque is set at 80 ft/lbs on all 4 wheels...

it wobbles all the time but when i hit 55-60 it smooths out and is fine and it doesnt do it when braking i already fixed that one. i think ill just get them rebalanced this week sometime.

Did it wobble before the tire rotation?
