Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If the wheel sits off center, and mirrors when flipped it's the wheel. If it doesn't move when flipped, it's the fork. If it moves, but doesn't mirror, it's both.

However, there are other variables, like possibly a bent axle, or worn area where it sits in the fork. So paint a reference dot on the locknut, and repeat the test with the dot on top to ensure the axle is in the same place (except for flipping). Then with variables controles, the 3 conditions I listed hold true.
