On my 1998 Camry, I noticed the right rear wheel had some wobble in it. I checked the lug nuts and they were tight. I removed the wheel and brake drum and found the hub (with the wheel studs in it) seems to have the wooble in it. Is there any way to tighten it or is it a bearing problem, or what?

Make sure the nut that holds the wheel bearing is tight enough not to be able to be loosened by the fingers. Then put the tire on and tighten it up and jack up that end and wiggle the tire, if play is noted replace the bearing.
