Dodge Caliber 2009

I have a 2009 dodge caliber sxt. I just changed my rotors and brakes yesterday. Driving today I noticed a wobbling noise coming from the front right of the car when I was riding over bumps. I took my wheel off and noticed the rotor was wobbling back and forth. I tried tightening down the bolts and even the lug nuts on the wheel. But still no luck. What could be the cause of the rotor wobbling slightly?

It depends on where you see the "play" in the wobble. If the rotor itself has play but not any of the parts attached to it, then you might have damaged the rotor bolts (which I guess are Torx type flathead bolts?). These are notorious for rusting and stripping. If you had trouble getting them out and didn't use anti-seize lubricant putting them in, then maybe they aren't seated properly. If you notice the hub wobbling, then you might have ball joint or wheel bearing issues here.5
