Brakes\Suspension, please help!!!!!
Hoping you guys can help me, Im about to throw a killer turbo kit on my car and it is falling apart. I am having problems with the brakes and suspension.
First problem is, when driving about over 40 mph, my steering wheel starts shaking, and gets REALLY violent at and over 60 mph like a wheel is wobbling bad (which is isnt of course the lugs are torqued correctly). I changed both shocks and put new tires on to no avail. The car also pulls to the right (dont know if this is related, but i think it could be).
Second problem is, when braking over about 60 the car pulls hard to the right (does it gently around town speeds) and the steering wheel shakes violently (usually already is like above, but usually gets worse braking). Before I had got new rotors and pads to no avail, which I think they may be a little warped now but dont know if it would cause it to be this bad.
Any help would be appreciated, I just want to get my baby workin again so I can throw on the kit, thanks!!!

If I were you, I wouldn't be spending any money on a turbo kit. Being that I haven't seen your car, it could be anything: uneven tire wear, a bad intermediate shaft, a warped axle, etc. And the brake bias should be dealt with by professionals if you don't know what you're doing.
Brake bias? What are you talking about, changing the rotors and pads isnt messing with anything. I just want to know what all the causes would be and how to check them out and if anyone else has had the same problems. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.
When it pulls to the right, the brakes are "biased" to the passenger side, that means that the passenger side brakes are working more than the driver side. It could be as simple as a pad and rotor change, but it could very well be something serious that requires professional attention. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Don't cut corners with the braking system.
Well, what would be other causes of all these symptoms? Could warped rotors cause a steering wheel to shake really bad at highway speeds?
