wobbling wheel...what u think is wrong??

[PonyPower96]

Hey guys,
Recently i was driving with my friends and one of my friend noticed that my one wheel was wobbling slightly at low speeds and as i got faster it seemed to go away. Does this mean i got a bent axle or what. I have 33 inch spline rear end with strange axels and i havent noticed any vibrations or anything driving. Im also on a slick. What do u guys think is wrong? U think i should stop driving because i have been driving without knowing for a long time and i havent noticed.....

Either the wheel itself or the axle flange is likely bent. Pull the wheel and have them spin it up on a wheel balancing machine. If it's bent, it'll show up. If it's not, then it's the flange. By the way, if something's bent, it will be bent at all speeds. It won't go away at higher speeds - although a slight bend can seem to disappear as speeds increase.

check the wheel bearings.
