    Extreme Intermittent Front Wheel Wobble

    Sorry for all the fragmented posts... My truck drives just fine for the most part. It pulls a little right and I chalk it up to the stick passenger front caliper which I will be replacing. It does a really weird thing. It drives Jair fine and smooth but once in a while, it feels like the...
