braking gone wrong?
ok long story short, i had to slam on the breaks to avoid making some roadkill. now my front right tire/suspension its wobbling... it goes omp omp omp slowly at slow speeds then faster at higher speeds. when i take a hard right turn it really lets loose but hard left turn it fades... any ideas guys?

Either that or you might have worn out a spot on your tire. If you have ABS disregard this, but if you locked up, there could be a flat spot on one or more wheel causing it to thump every time th wheels goes round.

Money on it says it's a flat spot.
Yes, I pwnd myself by stepping on the brake w/3 other people in the car while I was a 'little lit'....and well...I called Matty at like 1 or so in the AM..."Hey Matty, I think I f**ked up my car....Is it safe to drive it?" ha ha...classic. Man...that was an interesting night.
