I replaced the rotors and brakes today on the rear of my car, and upon placing the wheel on my left rear I noticed there was excessive wobble if I held the tire at 12 and 6 and shook in and out. It seemed to move in (towards cabin) and then away (towards me) about 1/4".

By all means this doesn't make any sense and I am not sure why this play developed, I followed the FSM for brake replacement, just had to use a little barbarian force at one point when the rotor didn't want to come off the hub. It turns out you had to loosen the e-brake tensioner (I had the e-Brake off, Okay!) to take off the rotor. I think this is where the play came from. Any suggestions? I tightened the caliper bolts and lugs to spec.

 

Could have just noticed you have a bad wheel bearing maybe?

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

And I wonder, but the rear CV joint on that side ALSO wiggles along with the wheel tilting forwards and backwards. Yikes

 

Turns out my axle nut was loose by a whole turn. Put a drop of red and torqued it down. Everything seems fine at this point. Thanks for the help.
