What is your question?
I have taken my car to 7 different mechanics and no resolve to this problem to date. I have the wheel bearing hub replaced 6 months ago and the same wheel that the hub was replaced on is the one that constantly wobbles. I asked if the hub was defective and all I get is that the car is mechanically sound. The axles have been checked I have put 4 new tires on the car again and had all balanced and the transmission is sound and gears all in working condition. Honestly this is getting expensive replacing things that are not resolving this problem and I'm tired of driving a car that feels like an exercise machine gone bad.

'wobble'-can be seen visually OR vibration , which is felt under specific conditions? BIG difference in poss. causes. Is one place doing diag(guessing) and another doing the suggested(guess) work?
Swap tire and wheel with front.. Still "wobble" on rear..?
This has been done twice. I was told that a belt could have been broken in the tire so I replaced all 4 tires and all balanced on purchase. Wheel still did the same. I have been told things from a bent frame to CV axles transmission and the list goes on and on. Everything checks out mechanically. I was told to get the new tires rebalanced because the passenger side back was heavily weighted compared to the drivers side back and at this point I am tired of rotating and balancing and would like something solid of what could be wrong. I've maintained this car well since day one and unfortunately know more about the car than the people looking at it. Toyota Senior Tech went over everything from day one on this car and I repaired everything on the list with the exception of an O2 sensor. The main wiring harness was cut through before I purchased the car so that was a huge expense to get all the wiring replaced plus sensors.
Seems to me it can't be fixed!.. I'm out of ammo....
Nothing is visible... The tire can be spun and rotates with no abnormalities. I've been followed to see if it is visible from behind while driving various speeds and still nothing visible
So it is NOT wobbling! STOP bouncing around shops , cause obviously none of them got it right the first time. bring it back to the ONE shop that you felt most comfortable with and give them all details. PAY (which I'm NOT implying that you haven't already!) for a diagnosis and a WRITTEN guarantee that if they do the recommended repair ,that it will be fixed , or they continue at it for either free or a much reduced rate. How far from Va. Beach? I'll be visiting there for a week in April. (6-10) bring it to me and I'll test drive it and give you my recommendation(s) -$145.00/Hr-
Today for first time heard a faint pop.. so the guy that fixed a nail in tire took my car on road to make sure he the tire was balanced correctly said I believe your axle is loose or going out.. The shop I typically go to said there was nothing wrong with the axle but I believe he is wrong.. Will take car back to precision tire Monday and get the rear axle checked... THANKS SO MUCH for responding will let you know what I find out
