Question Rear Left tire seems loose but it isnt.

I was driving and some guy stopped me and told me that it seemed like if my tire was loose... So I checked it out and the nuts are really tight. I drove it really slow with the door opened and i carefully took a look and the tire and rim does wobble a bit.


So my question is could it be just the left axel or something?

Thanks

I have the old differential that came with the car when i bought it. It has 2.73s .

But I replaced with a used differential from a 96 ws6 that came with 3.42s.

Now my question is this will the axel spline from the old differential fit into the one that i have on right now?

Had a bent axle on my car and it would make a reapeating squeek noise turns out it was the brake rotor hitting the caliper bracket from the axle not turning true.
