Your description is a little vague, but I think you should have a professional look at it. My guesses would be wheel bearing(s), c.v. axle, something you left loose when you did the brakes, ....?

Was it doing this before ya replaced the brakes ?

If not, make sure that the wheels lugs are properly torqued.
If it was, then you're going to need to check your steering components. Assuming that the pump and belt are ok, look at the tie rod ends first....then the rack itself.

How many miles are on the car ?
Did ya mention this problem to your "usual shop" ??? Tie rods are easy enough to check and replace if bad.
Also ya wanna make sure that ya don't have a bad rim or tire, as this could cause problems.
