Default Problem need opinions

ive noticed recently my car sort of wobbles , its worse when slowing down kind of feels like the back wheel is bent but its fine. It feel like its from the rear end and it shakes pretty bad on the highway.

First your title sucks.... Are you hearing any noises? Have you checked tire pressure? When is the last time wheels were balanced? Have you checked the lug nuts?You should jack the car up and test for any freeplay in the wheel when you move it up and down. If there is freeplay, wheel bearings are bad.

Run your hands around your tires to feel for any "hills" or other abnormal wear.

firstly, the title needs to be more specific....this board is made to answer problems, specifics help

there are many possibities here:
1)your wheel bearings might be bad
2)tires might have a shifted belt, like 300 said, run your hand over them and feel for bumps....
3)they might be terribly out of balance, or seriously needing alignment, have that looked at
4)maybe loose lugs or low pressure like prolink said....

as for when you hit the brakes, that means you have warped rotors, either get new ones, or take these off and have them cut......

Yeah sorry about the tiltle I checked everything out , my tires in the rear have bad wear on the inside. The cars lowered. probaly a shifted belt seeing that they are worn down really far in like an 1/2 inch wide area. Thanks for the replys. Anyone have any suggestions for some decent all seasons for the stock si wheels.

lol chase.....nobody even thinks of the word "camber" anymore.....all they think is "sLaMmEd!!" haha

definitely get some camber kits and a good alignment before you chew up more tires.....
