They are pressed in bearings. You must press the bearings in the knuckle then press the hubs in.

do you feel it in the steering wheel? make sure it isn't warped rotors they will wobble like an unbalanced tire. Keep things simple when you can.
I don't think could be the rotors.... it will actually get BETTER(less "wobble") when you apply the brakes.

Wheel bearing won`t give you a tire out of balance feeling condition. They will growl/grind when the start going and the noise will change intensity when you steer left-right while moving. Something else that can give you that wobbly sensation is a bad C-V joint. Does the wobbly feeling change when you back off the throttle at speed?

Oh yeah they will wobble.Easy test is lift the wheel and grab the wheel at top and bottom.If it moves they are bad kind of like a bad ball joint.They do make a tool to do them on the car but Ive never used them.That and when you get them that old they are tough to press out most times.Advanced here has the good bearings and usually the hub itself is also bad.I used to do a lot of those a few years ago.Unless you have a good press and some stout pieces to set it up a shop usually is best to have them pressed.Rocky

The bearings can come complete with the hub but unless you get a knuckle they arent bolt in.The old ones like he has are press.My nephew had an old caravan and both were bad.It would shake like a bad tire.They were real bad.He got 2 knuckles at the bone yard for like 40 bucks.It was a beater that he took hunting and didnt want to spend the $$$ for new ones.Rocky
