severe vibration! well just the other day i finished installing new brake pads on my 98 and made sure everything was lokking good! when i took her out for the break-in runs i noticed a bad vibration through the steering wheel and shifter. the vibration happened when i went around steady long right turns and also in a straight line under hard accel right around 40+ mph. anyone have any ideas about what might be wrong? thanks in advance!

if it is happening on breaking did you get new rotors ? If not your old ones might have been worped . get the rotors turned at a local shop or go get some new ones.

If it's happening during turning, it sounds like something isn't right with the install. Double check to make sure everything is tight and in place.
It could be a shimming issue on the pads too.
