Check video .. drivers side hardly any wobble... passenger side wobbles ... whole truck wobbles like rear end hopping up n down at 45 and 65 .. in between those speeds hardly anything at all ... just put new rims and tires my old rims were bent also.. i have swapped other rims and tires to be sure it still wasnt my new ones but this wobble in the video is present no matter what ... im pretty sure on the bent flange... question is do i get new shafts or swap whole rear end..

The flange only holds brakes on, our rears have a c-clip holding axle. I'm guessing but could be bent axle, bad bearing or bent axle tube where it meets the center section. Look under the truck to eyeball the tube where it meets the center section. Pulling the axle should show the problem after inspection.

No the axle shaft has a flange on the end(its one complete machined piece) with the six lugs on it that the tire bolts to and also the brake drum slides onto.. The brakes shoes are mounted to a different flange connected to the rear end housing itself .. 2 diff flanges ...

I already knew theres a flamge on the end of the axle shaft .. Was just wondering if anyone had this issue before .. Im going to change axle shaft .. All things point to the wobble being the axle shaft flange after i showed a few people the video
