Hey boys, any idea whatsup with my car?

Hey i was wondering if anyones exp. what i am.

When bringing the car to a stop, it brakes fine, but the last lil bit of wheel rotation before a complete stop feels lumpy, like im stopping an oval wheel not a round one. (front end). sorta lopes to a stop. I figured okay maybe needs new tires and has to be balanced. (Owned the car a while barely driven it, fixing all prev owners mistakes). So i do that. and i still feel the front end lope. like its out of whack. I have 4 brand new rubber. all balanced on the rim. Do i need new shocks up front? do i need a computerized alignment to correct toe in/toe out?

Any suggestions on who to go to and what to get done first would be appreciated. Insuring the car for full road duty July 1st. Look forward to seeing all the fbodys on the road this summer.

My bet would be warped rotors.

Not a HUGE issue if the pulsing is right at the very end of stopping. You can get them turned at a shop or you can buy new ones. VERY easy to replace them as well.

My guess would have been, the steel belts in your front radials let go. Oh well. Glad it seems fixed

My guess would have been if her steel belts let go in the front, you'd be all over that.
