I just installed front brembo blanks and metal master axxis pads, and now when I brake going 60 mph and above the car kinda sways back and forth. I broke them in probably till about 350miles. Anyone have any ideas? I think maybe I over tighten the caliper bracket on one side which causes it to sway. Is that possible?

thanks

 

thanks, I'll bleed the brakes.

aight, thanks.

 

Is your alignment within spec, any abnormal wear on the tires? Sounds like something could have been off on the suspension all along, and the extra breaking power is amplifying the problem.

well he's not ocmplaining of the car swaying when he's driving normal, so I don't think it's in the suspension itself.

But a car that is out of alignment can 'pull' when braking.

 

I got my alignment done a month ago, so it's as clost as possible to oem specs. My car is lowered pretty low though, about finger gap all around. I'm thinking maybe I overtighten the caliper on one side. Is that a reason that would throw it off?

P.S. my car kinda sways sometimes when driving on the highway but I figured since car is lowered it would react to every non even part of the road making it sway somewhat.

A car that is out of alignment would pull ALL the time, not just during braking.

 

I'm just going to loosen it up a bit.

thanks for everyones help
