Default brake wobble

Hey guys, I just got new tires, 31x10.50x15s, same as what I had on it before, but M/Ts instead of A/Ts.

Under braking with the all terrains I had a small amount of pull to either side, mostly the left.

Now with the mud tires on, its very noticeable, to the point of in a panic situation, a loss of control might happen.

I know my rotors need replaced already, but I was curious if there is something else that could be causing the pull? It's nIt a shudder like warped rotors, but a yanking. ****s scary.

Thanks for any help!

Start with the rotors and report back. Mud terrains aren't as smooth of a ride as all terrains and would make a problem like yours more apparent

rotors . pads and possibly calipers. You could have one sticking that has worn a side down faster than the other

Okay, cool. Rotors is what I figured. I'll sign that job up for payday and get it knocked out. Will report back and update.

Do the pads and rotors first. Do a really good bleed on the front calipers. If one of them has a bunch of rusty water (like both of mine did), the fluid will compress at different rates and give you that result. Calipers are downright cheap for Cherokees if you want to completely eliminate a bad caliper as a possibility.

Lol 10-4. I hope that isn't the case, but I will find out!

Calipers or brake line most times causes pull, not pads or rotors unless ones down too metal to metal.
