Default Bent rim or bad wheelbearing, again...

Man what the hell, i just replaced the passenger side and now the driver side is acting up.

At very low speeds i can kinda stick my head out the window and watch my wheel wobble, it doesnt do it alot and it almost looks like a bent rim but it sqeeks like a bad wheelbearing. I already checked that side and it was tight no play at all.

Also im finding i have a clicking coming from the right rear tire some im hoping my rearend isnt going out.

That sucks, for some reason in my trcuk the wheel bearing went, wheel almost fell off, so every time i service it i always check em and do find the nut holding them in needs to be tightened from time to time.

i had checked the driverside when i took the rim off to bleed the breaks, it was tight and straight. So im wondering that maybe either the rim is bent and possibly hitting the break shield and that might be the sqeeking im hearing. Im taking tomorrow off so i'll pop the damn rim off again and check it
