help...I have wobble

I noticed the wobble once last week. I had some work done on my truck today, so when I picked it up and started driving, I had some serious wobble. I looked out the window at the wheel, at it looked like the wheel was wobbling from left to right, almost as if it had only 1 nut screwed on. I got new wheels,shocks, brakes and rotors about 2 weeks ago, and I never had this problem before I got the work done to it. What's going on? Thanks!

Sounds like they didn't tighten the wheel bearings correctly. Take the wheel off and see if you can wobble the rotor.

Take it back and make them fix it. They did not assemble something right, and it could be dangerous. I would even consider having it towed in at their expense.

Ok thanks. I made it home ok from work. I had to go slow because the wobble would come and go. They are closed this weekend, but I will definetaly call them on Monday BEFORE I drive the truck. I've already had to take the truck back once because they didn't replace the broken "tension springs?" when they replaced the brakes and rotors. After they fix my issues, I don't think i'll be going back to them.

Anyone know of a good and fairly priced mechanic in Austin, Tx.?

Thanks for the quick replies.
