I did my front brakes last weekend and I think I messed something up.
Prior to doing the brakes I would have a moderate wobble when braking along with some rotor grinding. After I replaced the pads and rotors the grinding is gone but the wobble is worse- especially when braking over 45mph (an almost violent wobble). When I pushed the brake pistons back in one of the 4 on the passenger side was really hard. Is this my problem? Before I did the brakes I thought it might have been something else-tie rods, steering ball joints.
I used cheap rotors and some very old(but unused) Lucas-Girling pads.
