Default Re: 93 VR4 - Sticking brakes or wheel bearings?

Shimmy's at a given speed and only at a given speed are usually drive shaft universal joints. The sticky brake feel sounds to be seperate. Did you replace brake parts with OEM or aftermarket? If yor hand brake works well try driving on highway and slowly apply hand brake. If shimmy disapperars problem is rear brake related or rear wheel bearing. Rear wheel bearings usually start to growl before they get to badly worn to actually grind you to a stop. At the given speed does the shimmy get worse or better going around corners?

If you have this pulling you to a stop feel again. In a safe area drive along, let off the throttle and lightly grip stearing wheel to see if the car pulls to left or right. Grabbing brake will pull car that direction. Jack car and try to spinning wheels (car not in gear and hand brake on).
