Default Rear steering?

Can rear steering cause a wobble similar to front death wobbles?

I'm on the belief that it contributes.

Loss of overall rigidity.

Ta, was going through the hills in sw WA and when I touched brakes it started a really bad wobble that didn't stop for ages going down hill. It didn't seem to be coming through the steering but rather the rear.

I'm still convinced they are related. After I replaced the rear upper control arm bushes with MOOG ones from Rockauto I've hit the holes that caused crazy death wobbles with almost no effect.

Not saying things are all good with the front end now but night and day difference just by doing the rear (they were f'ed).

Well I replaced the rear rotors and pads, problem solved, although there are a few bushes that need replacing soon.

I going to say that it sounded like disc rotor runout they will get worse as the heat builds up as you stated on a long down hill run.
