    The rear wheel bearing should be checked for side to side wiggle every once in a while and torqued back down. Make sure not to over tighten them though because that could cause a whole new issue.

      Is the wheel sitting correctly on the drim? I'd take them off, turn over, and make sure there's nothing sticking to the surfaces of the wheels or drums.
      I've had related problems with replacement rims not going on and had to take a file to the hole.
      Another problem I've had is the shiny metal cover not staying on which was fixed by deepening the catches with a punch.
      Good luck.
