Default Having Brake Issues

Hey everyone. I have an 06 Ram bighorn that I recently replaced front brakes and rotors on. I am now have problems with "vibration" in the streeing wheel when every I hit the brakes. It did start right away though I have had the new brakes since Aug. but start this issue about a week or two ago. Does anyone have an advice for what might be causing this??? Thank you

Jeff heiser

warped rotor or maybe a loose bolt on your caliper take the wheels off and inspect

yeah, usually it is warped rotors. Did you re-use your OEMs and if so did you have them turned or cut?

Do you feel anything in the brake peddle?

Is it a high frequency vibration on a pulsing back and forth?

Does it still do it if you hit the brakes hard?
