Jack it up and take the wheel off. Start it up and put it in first gear and look at the axel flange from the back. See how much wobble you get on the face of the axel.

This will tell you if you have a bent axel.

in some cases it could be just bearings in the axle. the wobble will be more prevelent on the right side since the left side has the chain tentioning it. thats a possibility, provided the axle is not bent

its an 03 ,yeah i will all most guaranty its the bearings ,when you get it apart your going to find that the bearings only have a seal on the out side ,all the grease gets squeezed out and any water that gets in turns every thing to rust, the frount ones are the same ,sounds like a good time to do them as well.

could you of bent just a hub ,sure you could , could you have a bent Axel ,sure you could . you may also note all of it is on your end of this .
