Took apart the spindles on both side and found that the spindle on the left side was not OEM in fact someone had used copper or brass sheeting to make a shim/bushing for the outer bearing. Had a steel bushing made and pressed onto the spindle. Repacked the bearings on both sides and put it together. Went to back it out of the barn and test drive it and the what i thought was the good OEM spindle on the side that went out of round broke completely off just behind the inner bearing seal. Examined it and there appeared to be an old crack on the bottom of the spindle and a newer one on the top which is what caused the wobble. I should have taken that inner seal off and examined the spindle but the seal looked new and I have never seen that kind of a break before. I guess experience is the best teacher and thank the lord no one was hurt when the wheel came off .
