Steering wheel shaking while driving 30-40mph please help

Post by Armenian »

Hi, i have a few questions for you guys i hope you can help me with it

the car was fine until i had to change the brake pads for it and also the driver side caliper

since then i had to balance my tires because of pulling to the right then change my driver side rotor, and did an alignment

now while the car is moving(not at high speed just even at 30-40mph) the steering wheel shakes( left to right constantly)

what can i do to fix this problem? is it tir rod? how would i check to see what the problem is?

any help is appreciated

thanks

Take it back- obviously they didn't do something right...I suspect a sticking caliper or warped rotor.
