Why are the rotors on my car wobbling?
I put it in quotes because the going theory these days is that the rotors aren’t actually bent, but that brake pad residue has cemented itself to the rotor unevenly and is causing the wobble – doesn’t really matter, either way the answer is usually to just replace the rotors.

Why does my steering wobble when I load the front end?
Sometimes loading the front end in this manner will cause a bad or dry (all grease is gone) bearing to click. While doing this also watch closely to see if the steering stem/triple tree shows any signs of movement or “slop” in the bearings.
