Thanks to all who responded to this originally.

I jacked up the rear end and put jack stands under the uprights, started
up the engine and put it in gear to watch-the-wobble. The axle was
obviously straight and somewhere through the trunnion to the studs is
where the wobble is. The tin grease cover does not seem to wobble but
the wheel base (the large round metal plate where the brakes mount,
etc.) does wobble. Does this mean it's the hub? No? What's the problem
here?! <pulling hair>

Thanks,

Vic
