Update: So after talking both sides apart and re-torquing the shake was still there. I took my truck to the local Firestone complete auto-care center to have it inspected and tires rotated. The only thing they could come up with was a small amount of play in my lower control arm bushings... I left stumped as I did not believe that this would cause my issue. I had new tires put on the truck about a week later and the shake was gone when I drove home. When I was taking my old tires out of the truck I noticed one didn't roll evenly. Turns out I had a broken belt in one of the tires and both myself and the folks at Firestone didn't notice it. With the new tires the truck drives great and the shake is gone. It must've just been a coincidence that the belt broke right about the time I did the new brakes.

When doing the brakes I torqued everything to spec so everything should be tight. I am thinking about going and have the balance checked on tires as that is all I could come up with too. Like maybe a weight came off while removing/replacing them.

Hello, I have a 2005 Silverado 1500 work truck that I recently replaced the brake pads in. I replaced the rotors about a month and a half ago due to shaking when braking and this solved that issue. I noticed my pads were starting to get pretty worn so I replaced those this past weekend. Since replacing them the steering wheel shakes or wobbles while driving. This is especially noticeable between like 25 and 70 mph and seems to go away or at least dampen while braking so I do not believe it to be the rotors. The truck doesn't seem to pull one way or the other either, just a constant shake in the steering wheel. Any thoughts as to why this could happen after installing new pads?
