Actually, I didnt do that...thought about it to be a dick, but Id kill the muhfucka who did it to me. Anyways, check to see if anything is loose. If you got tie rods or a wheel bearing loose, it could throw off the way you stop, and youll find a shimmy or a vibration when you drive or slow down. The way to check this is jack up one side, and put a hand on each side of the tire, like a steering wheel, only 9 and 3, not 10 and 2, and shake it back and forth, not too slow or youll move the whole tire/wheel assembly back and forth like youre turning the wheel. But do it briskly and firmly to see if anything is loose. If nothing is noteably loose, than have someone who is somewhat experienced come over and look at the inner and otter tie rod ends while you shake them. Then to check the wheel bearings, put your hands at 12 and 6 and shake it up and down the same way. You should have almost no movement here. If anything is noticeably loose, get your ride whatever it needs. It could be a safety issue if its loose enough. If you need help with the install, give uss a holler, we'll be here.
