I have an 09 es350 which I recently put into a ditch. It has a wobble that actually made me pull over because I thought my tire was going to come off. I've taken it to 2 different shops and they can't find anything wrong with it. They both said that everything is right like it should be, no bent rim, no tire problem nothing. It's there anyone who has had the same type of problem or any ideas what it could possibly be? Please I need help
'not sure if this is the same but- my Jeep had a wobble, start off up to 15-20 mph and then wobble like mad. After the second shop, the problem was the drive shaft!!! Replaced it with a used one and all was ok after that. Might be worth looking into.
Hope that you find it soon Ed
Check your tire pressure, you may have lost air in it from the impact. This is known as an Air Out.
You need to have someone put it on an alignment rack to check the alignment. You may have bent something just enough to cause the wobble but it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
I doubt one of the half shafts in front was bent, but maybe the CV joint (inside the rubber accordion boots at each end of each half shaft) was damaged. Are there any low speed noises when turning the steering wheel?
I drove my 2010 ES350 into a curb a couple of weeks ago. Les Schwab checked the front end - it was fine, and did an alignment. I also got to get four new tires. Oops! All is fine now.

I read this as - you ended up in the ditch because you were pulling over to check on the wobble.
If so, was the issue happening during acceleration? I would take a good look at the passenger side axle, they are known to cause serious vibration/what you might call a wobble when they're out of grease and failing.
