[QUOTE="kk2010jk, post: 432413, member: 20385"] Out of no where I got the vibration around 55 mph. The only time since owning for a couple months. At hwy speeds 65 mph no wobble. When I got home I noticed a dirty front drivers rim. All the rims had been washed and cleaned a few days prior so it stuck out. I also noticed earlier that day that coasting in neutral, it didn't seem to roll very freely. So I cleaned off Rim, drove it yesterday (a couple days after) at 55 and no signs of wobble, coasted well and when I got home after 30 miles, no brake dust. So I'm thinking the caliper bound up some, caused the rolling resistance and created the wobble. Pads and rotor look to be relatively new. I guess I need to pull the caliper and check the slides. Any one else have similar issues? When I felt the wobble I though "Oh No" the dreaded Death wobble and I will be chasing suspension components for the rest of my ownership. [/QUOTE]
