Brakes?
I recently replaced my brakes over the weekend. Front brakes only.
After I did so, when I stop now I get a wobble effect, side to side, left to right.
I know what a car does when the rotors haven't been turned.
When you brake, you get like a skip/jerking effect front to back.
I didn't turn my rotors, do you think this is the problem?
I also read some where on this section, that if your rotors are too thin, you will experience left to right shaking when braking.
I know that the driver side brake is loose, I can hear it sometimes.
You know how you have to bend those tabs back to to make the brake fit tight on the caliper? I think I didn't bend it back enough, because I think I can hear/feel the pad moving when driving.
Thanks,

i had the "hop when brakes applied" syndrome and couldnt figure it out i checked the runout of my rotors and it was only .001 off so i turned them and problem solved amazing how .001 of an inch affects your brakes
