Wheel wobble Corolla

Corolla1990

Hi I have a 2002 Toyota Corolla 1.4 vvti with a wobble from the front passenger side wheel.

I got the inner and outer tie rod changed a while back as the problem was there then also. But the problem was still there so about two weeks ago I changed the brake discs and pads on the front thinking I have a warped disc but the problem was still there and eventually got real bad that I brought it to a mechanic and he changed the wheel bearing.

After it was done I brought the car to a smooth flat road and there was a slight wobble real slight but I said the car is a 2002 and there is bound to be play so I left it and since then it has got bad enough. Just this evening I was driving out from the local town and noticed it bad enough not as bad as before I got the bearing done but enough that I will have to take notice.

So any body any ideas of a quick fix or will I have to go to a mechanic. I'd rather the first option as I am a bit low on funds atm.

Is it happening above a certain speed or all the time? Could the wheel itself be the problem that it's buckled, perhaps swap the spare with it and see if problem is still there.

Could be buckle in wheel, bad tyre, weights completely off for the balancing of the wheel.

Were the wheels rotated?

Not a car you want to be pumping mad money into either.

Tracking could also be out! Was this done after the other work.

I got new tyres on the front as well so I would assume the balancing machine would have picked up a balance issue.

It happens from 10kph to around the 100kmh that I mostly drive at.

Are the nuts all good and tight?

Sounds silly, but go and physically check them
