Rims or Brakes causing shudder?

Postby tyler.dale.lee [OP] » Jul 22 2010, 8:51pm

recently put new after market rims on my 07 silverado(XD ADDICTS) and now my steering wheel shakes when i stop is it the rims or my brakes? It didnt do it before when i had the factory rims on so it makes me feel like the people who mouted them messed something up, of course they ensure it wasn't them.

If the steering wheel shakes, I'd bet they warped the rotors when they put the new rims on.
Dang it's hot!

yeah it does feel like it is coming from the front end. and yes my steering wheel did shake too. I checked everything in the front thinking it had to do with my front brakes or something loose. Turns out it was no more than the retaining clips on the back.
