Default tire wobble sound [searched]

like topic states. when i drive i hear this wobble sound as if my rims/tires are not on tight enough. so i check all my lugs. they were on tight. so i rotate my tires and it still has the sound. it doesn't affect my sterring, but it sounds like something is loose or is wobbling. i hear it more when i take turns. i would think it might be axles or cv boot, but i hear it when going in a strainght line. it's not a click sound, just sounds like if a rim isn't mounted on correctly. i have no idea what it is. any ideas?

Check wheel bearings. I just had the same problem. Loud as ****, and annoying as hell when commuting everyday.

I had that happen as well. If it's the wheel bearing, it will need to be replaced.

You can do it yourself, but I wouldn't try it. Take the hub to someone like Napa or a machine shop and get them to press it in and out for you.
