Drove

I drove my car today for the first time in about a month since i'm in college and can't have my car with me. It sounds nice and drove fine except for the right front tire which seems to "wobble". I thought it might be the tread cause of a pot hole knocking it outta place... but it even wobles at low speeds so i think i might be soemthing with steering... Not quite sure what... any insight?? But yea other wise she's beautiful...

Jack it up the front and spin the tire...see if the rim is bent....if so, get a new rim! If you're too lazy to do that, just go to a tire shop and tell them to stick the tire on their balancer machine thingy. They can tell you from that as well.

You might want to check the lug nuts to make sure they are tight. They could be coming lose from time, or somebody messing with your tires.

Was it more like "thumping" as the steering wheel vibrates? It might be the tire having a "flat spot" because this happens when the car sits in the garaged undriven for too long

Yuppers...like everyone said best thing to do is take her into a shop and have the rim/tire place take a look.

Before I had a lot of wobbling fearing the worst I was armed with a little over a grand walked in and asked for new rims...luckily the mechanic was someone I knew and instead of ripping me off he told me it was the tires (the cords inside the tire were all fuc*ed up)...45 minutes later and a brand new set of Dunlop SP5000's I was all good no vibration.

So most likely check:

The alignment, tire tread, tire pressure, tire itself, if not one of those ... rims
