Triumphers,

I've noticed one of my alloy wheels is not quite straight.  When I spin it up 
against a straight-edge, the rim moves back and forth about 1/8 of an inch, 
left to right.  Three questions:

1.  Is 1/8 "wobble" excessive?  It's noticeable because the other three 
wheels don't waver a bit.

2.  Since this is the wheel with the loose inner ball-joint assembly that 
connects to the rack, could constant wiggle have worn out the assemby?

3.  Does it make sense to switch this wheel to the rear -- less problems back 
there?

Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day vacation.
