    I have searched the threads and can't find an answer to my question.when i was driving this t bucket home i noticed a left to right wobble on the tire well after i put the new wheels and tires on it looks worse so i jacked it up and spinned the wheel and its definitely not true and is doing it on both sides also noticed they have put a thin piece of metal and silicone over the rotor on one side tightened wheel bearings a hair to take out play still does same thing is this a bent spindle figured i would come here before i just rebuild the whole front end also you can hear it hit the pads at a certain point in the rotation.thanks guys for any help

    I would say more along the lines of rotor problem. If it was the spindle, the wheel would just lean and still run true.

  4. bolt the rotor on tight and use a dial indicator and rotate and see whats up. no more guessing.
