Front end Wobble when braking...

[NorCalBud]

I got new tires a couple of months ago and was told at that time that I had about 30% brakes left. I've recently developed a decent front end wobble when braking at higher speeds (50+), but is still smooth as silk at in-town speeds. I had my brakes done at around 5k miles (because another dealer told me they needed it, wasn't too happy 'bout that) and I've got just over 18k now.... Thoughts? Is it just time for new brakes or is there something else to look at?

sounds like warped rotors to me.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the info! I'll take a gander at the pads and figure it out.

Material Transfer??

This happens and is often mistaken for warped disks. Borrow a dial indicator, raise and rorate the tire. There shouldn't be more than 0.004" of deflection. It's m/t if there isn't deflection. Light sanding and cleaning with brake cleaner ( and pad removal, sanding on a true flat ) Much cheaper than new disks and pads.

Good luck and see you in Sonora,
