What do you think? Even when I'm coming to a stop I can feel in the pedal and Jeep a type of binding in the braking at an interval of the tire turning so the rotor (mainly passenger front is bad).
2.) vibration @ 55MPH when crusing - It's causing the steering wheel to go side to side. I've grabbed onto all steering components and tugged on them but nothing seems loose. I just got the wheels balanced today and there is no difference. Pleae advise.
Thanks.

AHH its the good ole death wobble, i would replace the rotors you may even be able to get em free from jeep because there was a recall on those
you can go to the jeep website and put in your vin# it will tell you if it has been done on your jeep, there are so many different causes of the Shimmy i have had the same problem and just decided to live with it ive replaced the entire front end
stilll have the shimmy try balance rotate front end aligin etc... Do you have a lift on your Rig? if so the vibe may be from the drive line out of sink you can get transfer case drop spacers to correct that problem OR if you dont have a lift then it could be a sign of your U-Joints going bad. Either way its a long slow hit or miss problem make sure everything is tight on the front end and just start at one thing at a time, tie rod's u joints ETC...
