2001 Jeep Wrangler Front End Shimmy
 
I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. When applying the brakes while traveling
down hill the front wheels will start to shimmy. This does not always
happen, just on occasion. I have changed the brakes and had the rotors
turned. The front end linkage and ball joints feel tight. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

If you're still under warrantee, take it back to the stealer and
have them fix the warp rotors this time.

This is normally a problem that comes from warped rotors. If you have the
rotors turned and replace the brakes at the same time, generally the warpage
does not return again until the brakes wear down.
