Help! Extreme Wobbling

Took the car out the yesterday and when i hit the breaks i have EXTREME wobbling in the front end. It only does it when it wants. Someone told me it could be wheel hop. Another told me it could be warped rotors. And another told me it could be a bent rim. Well, the rims are new and have been on the car for 3 summers now and this never happend. The rotors dont have any pulsing as i stop. And i do know my shocks need replaced. If anybody has an idea of what this could be please let me know. Thanks guys

Could be any number of things. Loose lugs, bad tie rods, bad/broken endlinks, etc. etc. Only way to know is to get under it and see.

Rack? What the hell is a rack?

A REAL man crawls around on the cold wet driveway under a $39 Harbor Freight jack!

i wouldnt crawl under car held up by a harbor freight anything.

I think he means an alignment rack, not a lift. I could use a lift....

Re: Help! Extreme Wobbling

I am leaning towards Tie-rods as well.

Get it figured out yet?
