Wobble while braking
Hey guys I have a 03 that has very little wobble when I first start out driving until about 55. But when I brake the wobble is more drastic. What could cause this? My rotors are fairly new, about 1 year and the pads look good. Thanks in advance for any help.

You warped one or more of your rotors. This can happen even with new rotors if you do a lot of stop and go traffic driving, or ride the brakes a lot. In both of these cases, the rotors can get very hot and that's why they'll warp. Then again, if you bought the bottom of the line cheapy rotors, then those are only good for a year or so anyway.

Start with the fronts. If the problem goes away you're all set, if it doesn't, then you can do the backs.
