ok... trying to get a diagnosis... searching has added worn shocks to this list, upper and/or lower control arm bushings worn, worn tie-rod ends...
here's what's happening... backing up at slow speeds (say out of a parking space) then applying the brakes causes the front axle to twist bottom forward... moving forward and braking is normal... also, when this twist occurs it seems like the brake cylinder is banging onto the rotor...
i know i have a worn bottom bushing on one front shock, can't get the lower control arms to move by hand... i'm at work and can't crawl under to get a good grip on the uppers... tie rod ends look good to me & a guy here (but there's a lot of miles on them)... new rotors & pads maybe 5 or 6 months ago...
2001 XJ, 230,000+ miles...
