Changed my front disks and pads to new ones. now when I brake at 50mph+ the steering wheel wobbles/vibrates. What should I check for?
Steering wheel wobble when braking?
Our car did that two separate times. Once it was the tie-rods, which cost a couple of hundred bucks to repair. The other time it was the sway bar, which cost less than a hundred, but was an important repair because the broken ends were scraping the gas tank and could have caused a major bad explosion sort of thing.

Your car is out of line
thats not good
check for uneven wear on the new pads and also it could be a loose lugnut. your brake caliper might be loose on the rotor or somwthing else on the braking system
mine did the exact same thing, they told me it could be the roters need to be turned or that the brakes might need fixing all together. either way i know if you leave it you'll need a new set of brakes.
Well first of whoever did the work take it back to them. They should fix this for you for no charge. If not then you could get the police involved. But if you did it yourself just verify that you didn't handle the disks and pats too much or damaged them by any chance. The pads might not fit and someone just say they were close enough and threw them on. Maybe over a couple days they will wear down some and it will go away completely. Its really hard to tell without looking at it. It could be a bunch of things. Take it back to the garage where you had it fixed. They are liable.
your front rotors need to be replaced or resurfaced.
Take the car back to who ever replaced the breaks and tell them what is happening , Maybe they will put it up on the rack and could spot the problem , Remember they only did the breaks and did not look for anything else , Could be shocks ,Tie roads ends ect. good luck
