wheel shake

[traviS13]

just droped my car off at the body shop for some work and on the way there my friend was following me to give me a ride back and he said the rear left side tire looked like it was wobbling all the rest are fine. he didnt tell me so now its in the shop for a week. can anyone give me hints on what to check when i get it back. im hoping maybe its something small or at least not too expensive. i had my car for three days and then gave it to the bodyshop for a week and now when i get it back it might not be drivable. anyways woe is me any help is appreciated. thanks

Do you mean the tire is wobbling but the wheel is straight, or is the entire wheel wobbling as if it's bent?

apparently it was hard to tell. i was driving it so i couldnt see. ive only had the car for three days so i havent had a chance to get to know exactly how it handles but nothing felt wierd to me. what were some of the possibilities you were thinking of?

Well I had this problem (felt it but didn't see it), and my tire ended up coming half way off the rim while I was driving. You may want to take it to a wheel/tire shop and have them look at it and possibly remount & balance the tires to be on the safe side. You don't want to go through what I did. It was NOT fun.

yeah that doesnt sound like fun. ill do that the minute i get it back from the body shop i hope its something simple not a bent axle or something. thanks for your help
