When was the last time you had an alignment? Thats probably what most people would check first.

Personally I've had this happen when my axle nuts were loose, but it could be a variety of things.

Well, I bought the car 4 weeks and it never have done this until recently. Is there a Guide on, how to tighten the axel nut?

Take it to a shop (most tire shops should be sufficient) and tell them to put an air gun on it. Should take them all of 5-10 minutes. All you have to do is pop the center cap off your rear wheels to get to it on each side.

Might also want to make sure your lug nuts are tight. Another easy task.

Once I do this, is there any other thing that might cause my car to wobble ?

Found the problem... One of my tires is messed up and I need to get a new one. Possibly need to get camber kits since my car is lowered and to avoid this incident. Thank you s2ki members for the help.
