warped rear drum?

anyone ever seen a rear drum warp so bad that the wheel wobbles?
i thought it was the stub axle was bent and had it replaced but the wheel still wobbles.
they are brand new rims so i know the rim is straight.

any ideas of stuff to look for that might cause this.

thanks

I had the same problem on my 1971 1302L few years ago.The wheel bearing was completely worn.I replace it and now it is O.K.

when you where driving did it look like the wheel was wobbling?

when i jack up the car there is no wobble like when a bearing is bad.
it feels very solid

jack it up, put your hands at 12:00 and 6:00 and push/pull in opposite directions. if it has play, your bearings are bad. also make sure the drum is seating properly.

thats what i meant with the car off the ground there is no play in any direction.
when i find my 36mm socket i'll pull off the hub and have a look to see if it's on properly or if it's warped.

thanks guys :agree:

Well I didn`t notice any vobbling by my self.A friend drove behined me and told me about vobbling.First I suspected on tire than wheel,drum and after that I realised that the problem was in the bearing.
