it sound like your wheels need a re-balance. If you look at the inside of your rims you will see the stick on weights they use to balance the wheels and sometimes they fall off with time. Just get a re- balance and that will solve the problem unless you actually hit some big pot holes and bent one of the back wheels. Good luck and I hope this helps a little.

I had a similar problem before. Definitely a balancing issue.

If you rotate your tires back and the wiggle goes away, then you need to get your tires rebalanced.

If you rotate your tires back and the wiggle is still there, then you need to get an alignment.

sounds like a balancing problem. A mis-aligned car does not "wiggle" it pulls in either direction. And you don't have to get an alignment done after a rotation. Personally i would take it back to the dealership that did the labor and tell them that since you have had them work on your car that you are having this problem and you think they did'nt get the balance done right and want it rechecked. It's worth saving yourself the money on an alignment.
