Has anyone ever experienced, or heard of, death wabble resulting from a sticky front caliper?

I had this happen this morning and it's the only thing I can find wrong with the whole drivetrain. Ball joints, bearings, tie-rods, shocks, a-arm bushing all seem good...can't find any slop anywhere.

The only symptom was the one driver side rotor was a lot hoter than the other side and it smells burnt.

Thanks

Tires did it on mine when I had first got it. I would think sticking caliper would just make it pull like hell to one side.
 
I had a lot of people tell me to swap the tires on mine when I was having a hell of a time trying to find what was causing my DW..
 
DW on a 2WD? Odd. Possible I guess, but seems odd to me.
 
Its because the front tires round over and when you hit the smallest bump it makes it jump and skip. My 01 did it when i first got it. Put new tires on the front and it never did it again.

Yeah, that's what I thought too until it almost shook me off the road.

I'm going to rotate the tires and see what happens as the outer lugs on the fronts are looking unevenly warn as compared to the rears
