I recently finished replacing my back brakes and bleeding all calipers. I took the truck out for a test drive and noticed a shake in steering wheel when I made a turn. Even worse, the front end violently shakes when I reach 60mph and stops a few seconds after slowing down. Truck drives fine below 60mph except for the shake in steering during turns. I did not have this problem before replacing the brakes.

Please tell us EXACTLY what parts were replaced?
Any front brake work done? Did you torque the wheels to specs when you put them back on? Did you do ANYTHING with rotors?

Thanks for the reply. Replaced pads and rotors on rear. Also replaced caliper on pass. Rear tire. The wheels were all secured properly. No front brake work done.

If you can feel the vibrations in the drivers seat are, you installed a warped rotor. When you replace calipers change both!
