wheels have a wobble

I appreciate the previous answers. Ive got another question about my 93 f250. Ive never had problems like this when I rebuilt my 02. I got the ball joints new wheel bearings new tie rod ends and seals. got everything put back together when I took it for a test drive I noticed my wheels wobble. Haven't taken it over 30 since I need an alignment. Thought I maybe put the spindles on wrong so I took it apart and checked it all. After I got it buttoned back up took the truck out again and the wheels still wobble even the rears. I put the rear tires on the front and front on back. The only thing I haven't replaced on the front end is sway bar links and bushings. I bought the truck for a grand as a fixer upper but I didn't think id have this many problems along the way. Could all 4 rims be bent.

That depends on what you're describing with wobbling, are they visually wobbling or is it a wobble while you're driving?

Visibly see the wobble. Had a guy following me and when I pulled up to the post office he got out of his car and told me the tires were wobbling. So when I left there I drove up the road with my head out the window looking at my tires.

They could be bent or not seated all the way on the bead. That's weird all of them though.

Jack it up and spin the hubs with no wheels on it to see if it's the wheels or the hubs.
