Brake Upgrade Vibration
After I upgraded the brakes on my bro's LT1 (put LS1 front brakes on it) a shuttering has appeared when you turn the wheel to the left in park, and to the right while the car is moving. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what might be causing this. My thought is maybe balljoints but I can't be sure.
Thanks for your help.

Rotors? Pads? Calipers? Do you get any lights or codes?
If it was a ball joint problem, it would not explain your shuttering when your not moving.

That's what I thought too, but after we first discovered the problem, I realized that my brother did not grease one of the new lower balljoints and the problem somewhat improved when we added grease, leading me to believe this is the cause. To answer your question, we replaced rotors, pads, calipers, hub assembly, the brackets that hold the calipers and hubs, and lower ball joints

Well, I went through, at my brother's insistance, and changed the lower and upper balljoints and this did not cure the above problem. If anybody has any suggestions, I would much appreciate them.
Thanks Again!
