I have been getting a wobble when I brake. It only seems to do it under mild braking, if I'm braking hard it stops without it or if I'm going slow say under 30it doesn't do it. I've already checked my tire balance, re tourqed the suspension.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

My sister-in-law had the very same problem on her 4wd Tacoma. I drove it and it acted exactly as you describe. Turned out to be a slightly warped front disc. She changed both front discs and no worries since. Good luck!:twocents:

Yup sounds like rotors you might be able to get em resurfaced and not spend alot of money on new rotors :thumbup:

You're on the money. Turning the rotors usually fixes the problem without requiring your banker to be present. They took it to the dealer and got hosed.:yup:

replacement rotors are pretty inexpensive and easy to swap.

Sound great guys thanks for the advice would a warped rotor affect the pads, should I replace them ?

I would replace both sides, unless they are worn enough then I would replace all 4 but that's just me.
