Thanks. That makes the most sense. But wait a minute - I don't even use my brakes...

| Post subject: | Diagnosis please! |
I was wondering if anyone can help me diagnose a little front end issue: First, I have Moog LBJ's and Jeepin Al's Uppers installed - all recently done. I also just had my tires balance and brakes done. Everything is fine on and off the gas - no vibrations, etc. However, when I brake the front end shimmys. The steering wheel rocks and I can feel it in the brake pedal as well. Note: this condition occured prior to the wheel balancing and brake job. Anyone have any thoughts to what it could be? Tie rod ends loose? Thanks! Todd |

Did they check your brake rotors? Sounds like they are warped to me. |

x2 on the rotors, given everything else you said. Probably time to change 'em... |

x3 on the rotors, but you may also look into having then put on a brake lathe (turned) insted of just replacing them. |

Yup - that was it. Just got her back from the shop. A world of difference! Thanks for the input. Todd |
