97 TJ - shimmy when braking
 

97 TJ 4 cyl

Apply brakes at 50 mph.

Front end, i.e. steering wheel, begins to shake & shimmy....

Diagnoses?

Re: 97 TJ - shimmy when braking
 

Warped brake rotors, and replace your steering stabilizer/dampener.

Probably brake rotors warped a little. Could also be calipers stuck on the
sliders, not moving with rotors, but rotors shouldn't move much side to side
to start with.
