rear wheel wobble?

ok i have a 92 awd the right rear wheel shutters or shakes apon acc. pretty much all the time you can feel it while driving just on the right rear. i had replaced the knuckle and bearing a few years back but hardly drive the car. i cant quite figgure out what is causing the knucle to move like it does the bushings all seem fine and every thing is tight no damage to tire or wheel? has anyone else had this issue im kinda stumped.

thanks
svxin

bent rim? Severely imbalanced?

When I see a wobbling wheel it is most often not tighened down correctly. Either from not ussing a star pattern, or from crossthreading the studs.

its not in the wheel itself its the whole knuckle assy the has play in it. you can take the knuckle and move it in tward the inner wheel housing like back and forth play and its not in the strut or anything like that maybe a bad link or something?

maybe it has a regular bolt in the forward link instead of a cam bolt (for alignment) I can't remember which is bigger
A bent link should only cause bad alignment, if you think something else is wrong with the link, it should be obvious.

I wonder if missing washers on the lat link to knuckle bolt could cause this problem?

The wheel will also wobble if the Wheel Bearing is shot...
