Rep Power: 256

I just got my rear disks in (off a totaled EP3) and i discovered right after the test drive it makes a thumping noise. a somewhat quiet, but noticable sound, like the sound of a flat tire thumping. I lifted my car up and move the wheel/rotor/spindle around an noticed it was sightly loose, as in i could push the top of the wheel towards the shocks and away from it. i would assume that the thumping is coming from the loose spindle creating a "wobbling" effect when i drive it. anyone else have this happen before? i'm gonna go see my mechanic to see if it just needs to be tighted (if that makes any sence) or replaced. otherwise if anyone knows what to do, post here. but i've been driving like this for 2-3 weeks now and no problem braking or driving straight, the noise just bugs the shet outta me.

anyways, your help would be greatly appreciated thanks

get a new wheel bearing. Either that or it got bent when the rest of the car got totaled.

Ding ding ding! I WIN! hahaha.... 99% of the time a new bearing is a sure fire fix for a wobbly hub. If its not those, then it maybe ball joints, but there isn't one in the back.
