K. I havent posted here in a while. I sold my 91 and just got a 92 6/4 bolt. Anyway I'll try to be as clear as possible with the problem. I noticed after an hour of highway driving yesterday that I'm getting an odd wobbling kinda moaning noise that seems to be coming from the front of the car. I know my wheels need balancing cause the steering wheel shakes but this started out of the blue and seems to be a separte problem. If I hit the brakes it seems to go away. If I swerve side to side it seems to go away. Maybe warped rotors/pads? I just had my passenger side axle replaced last week. And I tried as hard as I could to move the driveshaft side to side with my hands thinking the carrier bearing is at fault. This morning I got on the highway and drove for abuot 20 minutes and then it started again. I can go very slow in 1st gear and still hear it. Its almost like there is a weight attached to one of the wheels and as it spins you get that uneven woa woa woa woa sound. Sorry for the long post but its a vague problem right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
It won't be in the brakes. A warped rotor will cause a vibe when braking. It will not stop the vibe. It sounds like a bad control arm bushing possibly. Lift it up and look at ALL the suspension bushings.

Hope this helps.
