My driver side tire keeps wobbling. I have tried wheel bearings and ball joints and it is still shaking pretty bad. It is just that one tire that is doing it. What could it be? I have taken it to two different mechanics and they do not know.

Is it bad bent wheel or tire slipped a belt?
Does that tire/wheel wobble if spun on a spin balancer or does any other wheel also wobble when on that spot?
I assume this is the left front.

It is the only tire that is wobbling and at first I thought it was the tire so I got a new on Friday. It wobbles a little bit when they lifted it Friday and yes.

Does any other tire/wheel wobble when installed at this spot?
If not other tire/wheel wobbles in that spot then it's that one wheel that is bent.
If it is not bent that bad move it to the rear.
If other tire/wheels do wobble at that location then let me know cause with a new bearing, I really do not know what else it could be, not to mention I doubt even if a bad bearing would have caused a wobble.

I really appreciate that. I switched my back to my front tire and it stopped wobbling. So it may be the rim is bent. I have gotten ball joints and wheel bearings put on for nothing.
