Qui Gon-Jinn Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 It's not the DeathWobble.. I have been told that it's the Control arm bushings. Need some other opinions. Get on the freeway here. drive.. all is cool. Get off the freeway go from 60ish.. apply brakes and I get the WTF Wobble. If I shift to 4th.. let the clutch out and apply brakes to about 30.. then clutch in and neutral and brake.. I am fine.. but without the downshift.. WTF Wobble is nasty.. bounces the front end nicely. So.. Opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche13 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 is it when your acually applying the brakes could be your brakes are warped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Combination of a bunch of problems. Yeah, sure, fixing one thing might 'fix' it. But I bet everything is ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I agree, you have a couple things going on at the same time. I would first replace/check those rotors. You may in fact be correct with the bushings, but the rotors is where I would begin my search.... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm a little confused. I believe you indicated it happens when you brake, but then reference downshifting...does it occur more violently when you downshift? if so, I might look at the motor mounts first...

Qui Gon-Jinn Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 was late.. so maybe not clear Slowing down from 65mph if I just press the clutch and the brakes brakes I get violent shake in the front end. Slowing from 65 if I put it in 4th gear and with the clutch engaged I press the brakes I get no shake so with transmission engaged no shake without the transmission engaged I get a hell of a nasty shake. I can compensate for it by downshifting. Really would like to just know what it is. On a side not. At regular surface street speeds (30-45 here) I can disengage the transmission and press the brakes and there is NO WOBBLE. (thus why I think it's the bushings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 does it shake at all when driving down the road? cause my control arm bushings were bad and it would shake at around 40mph then go away at 50mph, and it would shake no matter what when braking.

FxRacing282 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 tranny torque mount? you can use a dial indicator and check your rotors. .005 is spec and minimum thickness is .89 and .86 (4wd/2wd). you can take a jack and start jacking up joints and see what ones crush. personally, i had this problem with my truck. i put a new axle in it (fried pinion bearings) and it went away. blew the steering stabilizer, it came back. so there is a really a long list of things. just start checking them all and ask us if you have any questions.

mvusse Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Could even be a bad U joint some where in the drive train. But I would start by inspecting the front suspension components. Look at them, feel them, try to move them by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
