Take the rotor off, and clean any rust, or crap built up on it, also check to see if the rotor isn't out of round, I wouldn't be suprised if the advance auto rotors were bad, especially if they stocked them on the shelve on their sides instead of laying flat.

No i did not torque down the lug nuts. on either side. Just tightened them up.

I did get hit in the rear about 4 months ago. my dad back up into the car pulling out of the driveway hitting it in the far left quarter panel. Maybe this was enough the bend the Axle Shaft ?

i read that the borg warner 9 bolts dont have c clips.

""All 9 bolt rears for f-bodies use 28 spline axles.
Another advantage over the 10 bolt is it uses pressed on tapered axle bearings allowing the axles to be bolted in instead of using c-clips.""

So if its not the c clips it would be the Shaft Bearing im guessing (# 3 on this link in the diagram ) ?

I dont want to replace the Axle Shaft if its just the Shaft Bearing.

So a Bad Shaft bearing would cause this very noticeable wobble ? ?

another question...if i do end up replacing the Shaft Bearing or the Axle Shaft..im guessing i would need to purchase new Axle Seals ? ?

How hard of a job is this ?

By the way thanks for all the help and info Blacdout.. i really appreciate it.

We tried this to check it if it was the rotors and its still only the left side that does this.
