Rear Wheel wobble

Left rear wheel has a noticeable wobble. Lug nuts are tight. Going to take rear wheels off tomorrow. Any thoughts on what to look for? 49 F1

Probably a bent wheel. Swap wheels side to side, left to right. If wobble moves with wheel you are done diagnosing. If wobble stays on left rear, much larger issue.

Did this just start, or has it been going on for awhile? I had a similar issue on my dump trailer and it was the tire sidewall delaminating.

If it has just started on its own I would definitely lean towards a tire .

Yes please report. I completely forgot the option of a bad tire. I overthink things on a semi-regular basis.

I think he decided to drive it as-is, and is laying in a hospital bed somewhere (hope that is not the case), and no one else was injured as a result.
