What profile are your tyres?

One of my mates at work was behind me on his motorbike and said he could see my wheel wobbling. Put it on the ramp and there was sooo much play, had to get a new axle bearing pushed in and new rear shocker. Moral of story don't take your dads advice
My advise would be to jack it up, put it on axle stands and have a good look
