When a customer says to me my car wobbles when I accelerate, there are a few possible reasons why this might be happening.
First, let us start off by educating you about what a wheel bearing is and what role it plays in a vehicle operation.
A wheel bearing can be found located behind the rotors or brake drum of every vehicle in the front and also the rear.

The best way to find out if your rim is bent is to take it to a shop that solely specializes in fixing and diagnosing this condition. In a nutshell, they’ll remove all 4 wheels and place them on a machine similar to a wheel balancer and spin the wheels various miles per hour.
It could cost you anywhere from $10-20 per wheel. Most shops will forget about the cost of the diagnosis if you do the job with them.
