Hello all. I recently had a front brake job. After the job, my car started vibrating at 45-55MPH. I'm running 18" M Parallels with hubcentric rings (E39 hub center). I replaced the rings with new ones since they were about 3 years old and corroded, and I also balanced the front wheels with a Hunter machine to no avail. Keep in mind I had no issues until after the brake job.

My thrust arms are about a year old, but then again they have about 26-30k miles on them. They were purchased from BMA w/ 750 bushings. Could these arms have worn down so much that quickly?

Shimmy does not come from braking
