Let me start by saying that this issue has two symptoms and has always been with me since the day I purchased the car; however, it has gotten worse lately. The steering wheel wobble is really noticeable when reaching 45 to 50 MPH and while braking to a stop. The car has had new FCABs installed and steering guibo (coupler) within this time period to fix other issues so I'm pretty confident none of these are the culprits.
Yesterday I switched the front wheels with the rear wheels and that did absolutely nothing (yes, previous owner installed the same size tires on all 4 wheels). While switching them I decide to check the suspension components using old school method of grabbing each side of the wheel to pull, push, and tug. Absolutely no play on either wheel using this technique.
The next steep was to visually check the rotors by spinning them using my hand. What I found was that the passenger side has some light friction and does not spend freely. On the other hand, the driver's side rotor spins freely for about 85% of the surface area until it reaches the other 15% of friction which slows down the spin.
One final note is that once everything heats up from driving and braking I have noticed that the 45 to 50 MPH wheel wobble almost completely disappears. However, the steering wheel wobble when braking is still present.
I have an idea what the problem could be but do not want to persuade anyone in my direction and would much prefer to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks.
