Status: offline 		It sounds like the bearings. try wobbling just the stub axle without the wheel on it. It's possible the hex could be striped too and it's giving the wheel more space to move.

If you decide that you Need new Bearings?
Here is a Link for Boca Bearings, from the actual Boca Factory. No Middleman!
Get the inexpensive bearings (99 cents). No need to spend more for Tsunami bearings.....
Just measure em...Inner Diameter, Outer Diameter and Width.
Plug those measurements into the website and Order Yourself up some Happiness! Lol...

Status: online 		Redharris, which bearings did you see at 99 cents? I do not know what size he needs, but the cheapest 5x10x4 I saw were $2 each, and they were only shielded. For 5x11x4 and 10x15x4, the cheapest were $1.75, again shielded. The cheapest rubber sealed were $2.75 in all three sizes. Maybe there are sizes I do not use that are less. Those are decent prices, but I have also found rubber sealed bearings for less than $1 each at http://teamfasteddy.com/ which is the best I have found. And I have had great luck with fast shipping and good reliability so far, although I only have maybe 50 tanks on them so far.

You're Right ....
Not 99 cents any more, (They had a DEAL going on for the RCX convention, but it has since Expired).

Nice find at http://teamfasteddy.com/ . I am going to give them a Try!
