Default rim wobble

my front right wobbles. i think the rotor is moving. ill have to check again tomorrow. i try to tighten the 2 screws for the rotor, but they were tighten already.

can it be the tie rod?


(before you guys start flaming me about checking it, i got out of surgery for my thumb not too long ago and im still recovering.)

i searched and read that if a wheel bearing is bad it would make howling noise, but i don't hear any howling noise.

It could also be a bad bushing in the control arm, that happened to me with the same symptoms.

could be a lower ball joint. Mine had play in it. When i came to remove it, the nut would jus spin. That balljoint was done for. Thats most likely what it is since it is not a bearing.
