Wobble side to side?

I know I saw this thread somewhere but don't have search function.
At less than about 25 mph my car seems to wobble side to side. Feels like a tire is loose. I just had my rear rotor and brake pads changed and was wonderin if it has to do with that. Do I need a wheel alignment?
If someone can provide a link to a past thread or a quick answer that would be great! Thanks

make sure all wheel nuts are on studs tight....if so then possible that a hub bearing is bad....to check which wheel, u can lift car up & try to move tire side to side, if it does move side to side then its a bad hub bearing

When my other car wobbled side to side, it was an alignment problem. Got a wheel alignment and it fixed that problem.

Thanks for the quick response, will try all of the above. Anyone else have the same problem and find that a wheel alignment fixed it?

This is a long shot but check and see if your front tire(s) has a broken belt.
