The theory was formulated in the 1960s and 1970s as new information was obtained about the nature of the ocean floor, Earth's ancient magnetism, the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes, the flow of heat from Earth's interior, and the worldwide distribution of plant and animal fossils.
Loose or worn out tie-rod ends can be the cause of death wobble. To test them, jack up one tire at a time grab the tire at the three oâclock and nine oâclock positions, then try to turn the tire back and forth by alternatively pushing and pulling on the tire. Any movement indicates warn out tie-rod ends.
You are at greater risk from brake fade if you do not maintain your brakes properly, pads and disks should be regularly checked for signs of wear, and disks should be periodically roughed up if they appear smooth and glassy. One issue often confused with brake fade actually causes a spongy pedal feel. When you use your brakes you are converting the forward momentum of the car into heat. The heat will build up on the disks where it will be dissipated into the air. The pads will also get warm and this heat will also transfer along the pistons and calipers into the brake fluid and if water is present in the brake fluid you are very likely to experience brake fade as the water heats up and boils.
