Ok so here's the deal. I just bought another ex pretty cheap from my friend's brother it's a 97 Awd V8. I took it to get new tires, but they wouldn't do it because the driver rear was missing 2 lugnuts and the studs were completely stripped (It was Sam's club so they couldn't fix it). So i took it home, got them all replaced and put it all back together. When i put it in drive the tire had a severe wobble and made a grinding noise so I stopped, took the tire, caliper, and rotor back off and double checked everything and put it back together And the wobble is still there. My question is, could it just be a bent rim from only having 3 lugnuts for who knows how long, or should i start looking at wheel bearings or the axle?
Also the parking brake assembly looked pretty bad is it possible that it's causing the wobble?
