Default wheel wobble help!! all inputs welcome

whats up CL. to make long story short i noticed one morning my rear wheel wobble, it happend one day to another i suppose becuase i never noticed it. i went to a rim shop and wheel was bent. cool. i get the wheel back put it back on the car,and its still wobbling so slightly side to side (10x better when it was bent). no viberation till 45-60mph. wheel bearing has no play, replaced my upper control arm, and from what i hope they balanced the wheel. im going today to re balance the wheel and im going to see for my self to see if its wobbling.

now my question is what can make a wheel wobble slighly side to side. and makes no difference when braking etc. thanks for the help!

They probably didnt balance. Also, did they use the same tire that was on there? If you bent the rim, you may have busted the bead and could have a bubble on there. I'd inspect the tire just in case.

i was thinkin the exact same thing, they did use the same tire. im running 245/35 on a 19x11 wheel...so the stretch mightve caused something...never had this problem before. but things happen..thanks for the input bro
