I've been told front rotors are warped but why would it stop when applying heavy brake? I have replaced both upper ball joints (they were bad) but the steering wheel doesnt jump as in the ***** wabble. Really stumpped.
Possibly bad pinion bearing or bad pinion bearing preload
The front rotors are warped, the reason you feel it when lightly braking is because the pads are just brushing the high spots as they come by. Heaving braking will lock them in tighter and you will not notice it. They have to take the rotors off to turn them so they can check the wheel bearings at the same time and replace or pack them. Just have the rotors turned if they are not worn under the federal limits. If they are worn too bad you will have to replace them.
Testimonial: "Yes as was told to me the left rotor was warped. I replaced all bearings and the rotor and now it is smmoth as silk. I will replace right rotor next payday, them thing aint cheap."

Hello
Welcome to FixYa
there is a u joint to be replaced on your steering shaft just after the steering shaft
open the hood look down to the steering shaft you will see a small u joint very common to go bad most auto parts stores carry the part

more than likely you need to have your brake rotors resurfaced or replaced

I have a 2004 with the same problem. It is actually a defect on dodges behave. The steering box flexes on the frame when you hit a bump. Bd diesel puts out a steering box brace and a new track bar with the right geometry to fix it. I had replaced everything under my front end before i saw the article in off road adventures magazine. I contacted dodge and asked why this was not a safety recall. They said they no nothing about it and refused to help me. I called the National Highway Transportation Safety Board and filed a complaint. I suggest you do the same and anyone else who reads this. If you need to contact me email me at [email protected]. maybe we can get enough people to complain before someone dies from this.

Could possibly need the steering box adjusted. It might be a little loose. And tire balance usually makes it shimmy. Could have a broken belt in one of the tires. Jack up the wheel and spin the tire and check the run out. (look for a wiggle when spinning the tire).
