Alright guys I've got one for you....
After I switched out my brake pads I developed a squeak in the brakes (only when light pressure is applied, when I lay on it the squeak goes away) and also got a weird wobble when applying the brakes. The oscillating occurs randomly, most often at higher speeds, and goes away as soon as I release the brakes. I find myself pumping the brakes a lot when this happens.
Like I said they are new (albeit cheap) brake pads and the rotors were not obviously warped when changing the pads, although there were some grooves from New York winter road salt. My ball joints are about a year old and I regularly check torque on other axle components. The only time I get the wobble is while applying the brakes, and even then it doesn't happen all the time.
So what am I looking out here? Death wobble? Cheap pads? Rotor warped? Caliper problems?
Give me whatcha got!
