Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My steering wheel wobbles (kind of tries to turn left - right -left...) when I am braking lightly, it's not really bad, but definitely noticeable.

Does this mean I have warped rotors or something else?

Thanks,

warped rotor

You gone through any water crossings
You may have a chance to machine it out

I have this same problem too. GQ LWB TD42. Problem is, i've got new rotors and pads front and rear.

I have a feeling it is related to the patrol death wobble/shimmy problem because the steering wheel only wobbles under braking at the same speed as the shimmy - about 60 - 70km/h.

I also have this problem and have new rotors and pads, however i also know that i ahve 1 slightly buckled rim on the front. I still have to get around to swapp it

I had this issue with my patrol. It relates more to the changes in steering geometry once you’ve lifted your truck. Warped rotors have a slightly different feel.

If your brake pedal is pulsing up and down when you push on it then it is your rotors. like MQ said it is likely it could be something in front susp geometry. get a wheel allignment done and that might sort it out

Had the same problem on my shortie, check your panhard bushes as this will allow the front diff to wander side to side, worse under braking. Genuine bushes seem to be the best repacement.

Got my mechanic to check it out, he reckons it's panhard bushes, gonna have em replaced with genuine Nissan ones next week, so we'll see.
