loose rear tire????
i have been noticing a vibration when i step on the brake over the last month or so..... i was thinking i needed an alignment because of just putting on new tires...... well i was out today and caught a rattle coming from the rear ..... when i got home i jacked up the back end and the passenger side tire seems to have some wobble in it... like maybe a 1/4" 
whats it sound like and how hard to repair and how much $$ ..... thanks.....

Sounds like a bent (out of round) wheel...... Find someone in your area who has Hunter roadforce balance equip. and get their diagnosis on your problem........

Sounds like bad bearings in the rear hub. The entire hub will have to be replaced. You can do the job, Auto Zone has hubs for in the area of $200, I think. That's just a ballpark figure, I've never actually purchased one. Others may know the actual price.
