Default Weird wobble

So I've got a wobble in the front on my '06. It wobbles, pulling to the left when I am going slow below 35-40 mph. Sometimes when I put on the brakes it pulls rather hard to the left. Now, it only does this when it is wet.

Any idears?

Thanks

Thanks Hum....should have added that what's I thought. Replaced the pads and rotors, then an old garage sage said it was the belts in the tire, switched it out, too. Doesn't seem to be any wobble in the hub when it's on the lift. Half shaft is new. Maybe the steering rack?

I'm stumped!

If your front end is all tight you can check your steering shaft for play,The rag joint in the middle of the shaft fails all the time and is a common replacement.Remove drivers wheel and you will be able to see it and grab it and see if there is excessive play

Thanks guys, but it only does this when it's wet. I know, I know, but that's the truth. Live in MN and I first noticed this before Christmas in a thaw. Now we are in a January thaw, same thing. Doesn't do it when the roads are dry or snow covered. Only when it's wet. Maybe a sticking brake piston in the caliper? Has me stumped.

Thanks again, guys. Roads are dry now, no wobble. The plan is to adopt a 'wait 'n see' attitude. I'll update if it rears it's wobbly head.
