What will make the front wheels wobble when you apply the brakes?

Worn tie rod ends. Jack up the front of your vehicle and see if your front tires have some play horizontally. If they wobble horizontally then its likely tie rod ends and if they wobble vertically its your ball joints. Apparently it can be quite dangerous to drive like that. I have to replace mine in the morning.

Why aren't hydraulic brakes used for rear wheels when the same is used for the front wheels?
All modern mass-produced cars and light trucks DO have hydraulic brakes on the front and the rear wheels. Heavy trucks generally have air brakes on all the wheels. Maybe you are thinking of cars that have disk brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear? On cars, these are both hydraulically operated using the same hydraulic (brake) fluid. In normal stopping situations, the front brakes do more work than the rear brakes. Maybe 70 or 80% of the braking is done by the front wheels (it depends on where the weight is in the car and how fast you stop). Disk brakes are a somewhat better brake for a car, but drum brakes are a little cheaper to manufacture. So, disk brakes are almost always used on the front wheels where the braking is more important. Drum brakes are used on the back of some cars to save money. Note that performance cars (sports cars) almost always have disk brakes on all of the wheels.
