I recently did front brakes on my CL. Now when I reach 55mph my wheels shake like crazy. They didn't do this before, and the wheels were recently balanced.

 

wow..it shakes when ur driving and not even breaking??

 

swap the wheels around and see if that changes anything. maybe you didn't seat the brakes on right as well when you did them

 

stock rims?

 

is it continuous at 55? or only some times?

if continuous, then u should rebalance them. may be a weight fell off.

 

I think I figured out the problem. I put on new pads and didn't turn the rotors (they are slightly warped). I think that is causing the shaking.

 

could be a bent rim. i ahd this problem and i didnt notice until i bought new rims and noticed one of my front rims was bent on the inside which was not noticable until you take it off and see a tiny bend which caused huge shaking

if it comes back, check the inside edge of your rims.

 

this happen to me but only in the frigid winter when there is snow on the ground and ice got up under the car and in the wheels cuase the car to shake...

 

You did not resurface your rotors when you replaced your pads? Shame on you. This could explane the shaking. As you might know, the pad pretty much touches the surface of the rotors at all times. If you have an uneven surface(most likely on an old rot it could cause the shaking you have said.

 

Going to get the rotos truned after work.

 

Sweet..hopefully the pads did not get too gauged from the rotors. Good luck bro.
