Default Small wobble when cornering and pulls to right when breaking.

I changed the pads and bleed the breaks with new fluid, still pulls to right. today I checked all the ball joints. the ball on the end of the tie rod that comes from the pitmen arm next to the front right tire is tight left to right but will move up and down about a 16th of a inch, nut is tight. could this be my pull to the right problem??

The pull when braking will be a stuck brake caliper.

The wobble can be a combination of a warped rotor, bad hub and the need for a new steering stabilizer.
How mechanical are you?

Is the "wobble" in the steering wheel?
Does it only happen when braking?
If you do a panic stop does it still wobble?

I replaced the steering stabilizer about a month ago. when i do a panic stop their is no wobble, only when i go around a high speed corner. It is not a bad wobble just a little shimmy thing. all four tires are new.

Ok, you have 2 issues, a brake issue and a steering issue.
Have the front end looked at by a shop that does suspension work, a brake/muffler shop that also does shocks and the like will do a free inspection.
Get that done Monday and let us know what they find.
You dont want to mess around with the steering componets, they break and you are toast.
