Default front end wobble

My 2007 Ram 1500 4 X 4 with 68,000 kms started to wobble at 100 km then it quit, two weeks later I was doing 80km started to wobble (bad). When I stopped the passenger side rotor was hot, so hot I burned the end of my finger on it. The drivers side was just warm anyboby have any idea what has failed? any checks I can perform?
Of course this happened Friday before the long weekend so I'm hooped for trailer hauling this weekend, I would sure like to know what happened!

Kinda sounds like a stuck caliper. I would bet that rotor is warped as well.

That would make sense it only does it once in a while then goes away, that sounds better than a wheel bearing

I sent my truck in for repair to the shop they could not find anything wrong! Checked my calipers, discs the wheel bearings and found nothing wrong!

The truck seems to start shaking when I'm on a highway with ruts imprinted on it from large trucks going over it. When it starts to shake at about 80km+ the steering wheel is moving 3-4" side to side.

Its done this 3 or 4 times over the past few months.

A friend has suggested it could Stabilizer Bar bushings anything else to check?
