Default Another Akebono Issue

Some times there are things we do to our cars that we regret...these brakes might be one of them for me.

I got them installed and put on properly fitting wheels. Took it for a drive and now the steering wheel moves left to right...not really a vibration. If I take my hands off the wheel it moves left and right by itself. Not sure what it could be. I have lifetime balancing for my tires so I took it over for a re balance wit no success...any ideas?

When you're braking or driving?

So you put on new wheels when you did the brakes? That's more likely the issue than the brakes. Not sure how the brakes could cause your steering wheel to move unless this is happening while braking.

Yes you're right it's the wheels...

The owner didn't tell me there was a hub ring stuck in one of the wheels. I had to cut it out with a Dremel, but problem solved.

Thanks for the responses. Mods you can close this if you like. Thanks
