Rover folks,

My D/S front tire has a wobble at a certain speed that gets going pretty good, then it behaves itself fine the rest of the time. I also had a leaky caliper on that end and replaced it and just today (~5k after replacing the other), the new one is leaking! Thoughts?

Have you checked the swivel preload?

did you checked the freeplay on the wheel bearings?
did you replace the whole caliper or just overhauled the old one?
is the brake system flushed? mayby there is dirt in the system that is causing the leak?

Archives should be full of front wheel wobble. Mine would do it bewtween 25 and 45 mph once a month til I put in a new steering box. Hasn't happened again for over a year.
