    Its time to change the U joints. You caught it at a good time before you lose the drive shaft. Make sure you change both U joints. If one is going the other will follow.

    Dude, your posts are very hard to read. You need to try a period every now and then. I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything but believe me, everyone here will appreciate it. Thanks :)

    before you get all cold and dirty laying on the ground doing u-joints, drive about 30 mph or so... start pulling the hand brake. if your rear drums are out of round, the car wil kinda "throb". get the drums turned. if the problem goes away, GREAT!!!!

    got them checked

    ok mufflerman looked at it which is free so that works for me.The u joints need to be changed .And my e brake is not fully releasing .So that might be the problem with the wobble.First the e brake doesnt work and finding one here is like 60 bucks canadian.So the question i guess would be how do i release the e brake because i will eventually get one there is just bigger priorities .
