Wheel wobble - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi guys,
So my front left wheel wobbles.
The lugs are on tight and it's hub centric. I've tried swapping the wheel from the other side but it does the same thing.
Had the aligment done few weeks ago.
Here is a video of the wobble

Any ideas?

Swapping out wheels strikes it itself as culprit. Check suspension / bearings / bushings.

Sounds like a bad hub/wheel bearing.

Do you have coilovers?

If yes, check that the locking collars are tight.

If you have spacers, one stud going through the spacer may be slightly longer and touching the back of the rim. Mine did exactly what your video shows and it was the stud.
Fix was to either shave stud down or grind a little into the wheel backside.

Hold on a second... when you say you tried the other side and it does the same thing, do you mean that putting the wheel on either side shows the same wobble, or putting any wheel on the left front shows the wobble?

If the wobble follows the wheel you either have a bunch of crap on the back of the wheel so it's not seating flat against the hub or you have a bent wheel.
