I just replaced my rotors and brake pads and noticed when I was tightening the front wheel on the passenger side that it wobbled slightly. The drivers side does not do this. I have also noticed lately that the car seems to shake a little around 60 mph. What could this be and is it safe to drive? I have a short trip (6o mi.) To make this evening and I'm not sure if I should go or not. Thanks.

Hello,

Given that the wheel was torqued properly the issue is likely due to worn ball joint.
Worn ball joint can crease extra play and will cause vibration/shaking.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
