    I recently have replaced all four ball joints (3 weeks ago) and last week replaced the front brakes. All of a sudden yesterday when I used my brakes everything is fine until right when you come to a complete stop. Then it seems to jolt forward. I don't know at the moment if it has anything to do with the brakes or not. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue to make my experience go faster in fixing the issue.

    sounds like the typical "axle wrap" the majority of us live with, try greasing your driveshaft/slip yoke and all that.

    Do a search on axle wrap. You'll learn everything you need to know.

    I am reading about this axle wrap. I feel the "jolt" in just one tire, Passenger front. If it were the axle wrap wouldn't I feel it elsewhere?

    Did you happen to get grease or a lube on the rotor when you did ball joints or touch it with a greasy hand? Or if it's an auto, the teams might not be downshifting correctly. Drive a few mph in low gear then hit the brakes and see if it does it then too.

    Make sure your brake caliper bolts and lug nuts are tightened properly
