Cosmo,
I went through much the same trying to figure out if my wobble problem was
the wire wheels, the hubs, the rotors or the spindle/race assembly. You can
get a clamping dial indicator at Harbor Freight(Item #93051) for about $30
that is easy to set-up and use (NFI). I started from the brake rotor and
worked my way out to the hubs then the rims.
This is a lot better than trying to drive the car and have someone follow
you and estimate the "wobble". Wobbles are real strange, even a slightly
bent rim on the back can make you think you have a problem on the front.
Good luck,
Bill

Subject: [TR] Hub races are parallel?
Hi list!
I first want to thank all of you who replied to my question about wheels.
Now my next question is:
Is there a way, or how do I check, to see if my front hub Wheel Bearing
Races are parallel to each other?
The reason is:
I'm having many people telling me that LF wheel has a bad wobble. I've tried
installing another wheel on it place & was told that that wheel has a
'slight' wobble in it. (But the 1st wheel & was moving around 65MPH & the
2nd wheel I was only moving at 45 MPH). Being that I'm still getting a
wobble, makes me think that it's NOT to wheels, but something else.
Yes, I should have switch wheels from left to right & vice verse, because I
was told the RF wheel looked good; BUT, I was running out of 'good' weather
before the snow started to fly. Before I go into much more work on the
Garage Queen (GQ), I will try to do just that. Thus, I will have a better
idea if it's the wheel or something else wrong on the FL side of the GQ.
Thanks again for all the input, & I'm hoping to hear from the list, again.
