    did you check you're lugnuts? and it depends if the pins are striking the wheel hard enough (could cause a wobble sensation by causing the wheel to slow down enough when striking the caliper pins.)
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

      I vote brake pins will solve the sound issue, but it's a safety issue too. The dang things hold your brake pads in place! Total; sub $10, sub 20 minute DIY job.

            I have the same problem with my stock 92. If you solve this issue please post the answer.

              Couldn't the front and rear tire/wheel combos be swapped to the rear, and the rears to the front to see if the wobble/shake goes away or possibly move to the rear?

                That sounds like a space shuttle launch imo

                  Make sure the caliper can "Float" on the mounting bushings. This is a common place for these breaks to seize with corrosion. Then your caliper gets cocked,breaks heat up and all Hell starts to break loose.And it always seems like its the longer bushing that sticks first om mine.

                    I have the same or similar problem. Happens when I brake. But not every time.

                      ^x2 or maybe make sure you tightened the new tie rod end nuts good -n- tight.
                      or the shocks are bad.

                        The rubber hose to the caliper can get plugged up with corrosion. Happened to me.
