Could be bearings. Also worn ball ends, and check the back of the wheel to make sure it's not wallowed out.

If it wobbles when it spins, it could be a bent axel.

That's deffinately out of wack!
 
it don't wobble when it moves but it leans in as you can see and its loose feeling like my xbe's wheel was when the bearings were shot in it. Wasn't like that last night now today it is, and then the lil metal link that turns the right wheel popped out so I gotta fix that too, ahhh, what a pain... Maybe I will sell this one after I fix it and trick out my tt instead, Choices, Choices... LOL

What a life, What a hobby...

yeah that was my first impression aswell. dosn't look like a bearing problem but the lower screw and the brushing that's lose or fell out
 
yep, the chassis looks bent. to check the bearings is easy, take the wheel off and grab the axle and see if it has play. If it is leaning that much, you should visibly see the bad bearings.
