Subject: Front end vibration - `07 Dakota
IP: Logged

Message:
Hey guys, I need a little help diagnosing something. I'm getting a front end vibration when I apply brakes lightly. The vibration can't be felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel.

-I don't hear a roaring sound while driving so I don't think wheel bearing
-With no brake pedal vibration I don't think it would be rotors
-There seems like a slight clunking sound when going over smaller bumps at slower speeds.

I reached underneath and it felt like the sway bar links have wiggle in them. Should they have any play? Could this be a cause?

If it only happens during braking then it's most
likely warped rotors.

even without any noticeable brake pedal pulsation? Should the sway bar links have play in them?

To answer both of your last questions in order, Yes and No. They may not be warped but have enough residue built up to cause that. If you doubt it, find a dial indicator and check the runout.
