So I’ve replaced my U-joints and rotated my tires thinking it would help. Wobble is still there but I noticed my rear wheels move in and out? Is this normal or what could be the problem?

It feels like it is more than it truly is. If it was more than it should, the wheel/axle would come off. Reactions: tomtaylz
