i was out running my crawler today and noticed that the back wheels wobbled when you hold the truck off the ground.
both wheels wobble the same and this happens when it is running along the ground too.
what can be done to correct this?

with the wheels off do the drive shafts wobble, if not then it could just be the way your tires are mounted mine constantly wobble and if i switch tires it may wobble more or not at all, as long as its not a big wobble your fine.

Is the wheel wobbling, or just the tire?

Did your rig fall from a good height lately? Mine dropped off about 5 feet or so right on the right rear wheel.Now it has a wobble. I haven't torn it down yet but I think one of my RCP straight axle shafts have a slight tweak in it now:-(

Both me rear wheels got a little wobble

But, that's because my son liked to get it out and push it around while I was at work

He thought of it as a real cool TONKA.

Check your shafts, mine fell, or should I say, tumbled down a decent sized hill after climbing it and bent BOTH rear shafts, therefore, creating a wobble similar to what you speak. If your front "tires" don't wobble, then swap them to the rear and see if the wobbling persists, ifso, then you most likely have bent shafts. If not, then it's your tires. HTH
