    Well I think weve got success. Its storming pretty bad so I only drove to the end of the driveway(maybe got up to 25 mph). Everything seems fine. The clunk that was coming from the drivers side front wheel seems to have dissapeared. In the morning I'll know if it solved the sterring wheel shake whenever I hit the brakes.

    Like I said, make sure you bed these in properly or that shake will come right back.
