Fuji special racer
Have a Fuji special racer bought from a church member. New wheel smith wheels, i put new cables and a new chain on. First ride on the greenway here in Nashville something broke in the rear hub. Suntour cassette can it be fixed or should i try to buy a hub that works off ebay etc?

I thought i had a flat tire, the rear wheel was wobbling really bad and when i stopped the tire was wedged sideways against the right rear stay and the wheel was sitting in the rear frame crooked.

Wheel not tight enough in the dropouts, perhaps?

Is the hub axle still aligned in the dropouts? If not, reposition and retighten. If it is, you may have a broken axle. Remove and inspect.

Broken axle or spokes are the usual troubles.

Yep, any broken spokes?
BTW, did you mean "Special Road Racer" (S-10-S/S-12-S)?

There were no broken spokes, the axle doesn't appear to be broken it's something inside?
