Wheel Wobble on Chevy dually.?

I have a 1996 454, 2 wheel drive chevy 3500, dually pickup. When I apply the brakes I get a bad wobble from the left side front wheel. It seems worse when I am going down hill. The Rotors are fairly new and the brake pads are just as new. With the wheel jacked up I try and wobble the wheel every which way with very little movement. So this leaves me baffled. Wondering if it could be a bad brake cam, warped Rotor etc etc and why?

    if you suspect rotor and you just replaced it it should be under warranty but a warped rotor usually will be felt in the brake pedal also. it will seem if the pedal is pushing back against your foot. a bad ball joint (upper or lower) will cause this also. check pitman arm, idler arm, inner outer tie rod ends center link but my money is on the ball joint if it is only one wheel and the rotor is not warped. could also be a sticky caliper
