Today I was about 20 miles from home and got a pretty decent wobble from 55-60ish. It was fine for like 30 miles, then I hit the brakes kinnda hard to make sure I was stopped at a light. When I got back up to speed it was wobbling pretty good. I could smell something getting hot/burnt and took a slower senic route home. When I got home my drivers side caliper was smoking pretty good. I did notice that after I got the wobble, when I hit the brakes it pulled to the passenger side. Do you think the wobble will go away with a new caliper? Or should I start reading all of the threads on death wobble a little closer? Thanks

Most likely when you repair the brakes you will find that was your problem, not "death wobble".

The caliper is likely warped the rotor by overheating it, You may be looking into a new set of pads,rotors, and calipers. The pads may start to crumble and the friction may separate from the pad backing plate. Good idea to do a brake fluid flush at the same time. Good luck
