top, bottom or all over could be wheel bearing, tie rods upper or lower ball joint, could be your lugs or loose I had my car serviced once a long time ago and the tech didnt torqe the bolts just snug. Jack it up and see whats loose.

dont blame it on the tech if you did it and he said drivers rear i dont think that there are any tie rods there

any ways i would say to get your wheel dynamical balanced check your tires and wheels to make sure that they are both laterily and radially ok (tires are built from the factory they have a high spot and a low spot if the high spot of the tire is mounted on the high side of the wheel then you will get wobble )

ps op please tell us whether the wobble is lateral(side to side) or radial(more of a hopping issue)

wtf are you talking about?

sorry op I missed you said rear if you cant find anything loose or wabbly when you jack it up try swapping tires dacrxguy thinks its may be your tires thats a good suggestion too. I would say its somthing else by looking at that huge gash on your rear drivers side panel that car took a hard lick.

Hmm, I'll jack it up and inspect Wednesday.

Thanks for all the input guys.


And the wobble is side to side. While looking at it straight from behind.
