Got a new set of tires. I followed the books instructions to a T and now get major vibrations when only applying brake over 15mph. Loosened every thing then re-torqued every thing same problem. I proceeded to bleed it as well with the same ending..im guessing one of the brakes is binding..baffled

How many greasy handprints were on the rotor surface? If you don't clean the rotor of all contaminants, you can get a brake/no brake stutter as the dirty spots pass through the pads.

Brakleen is your friend!
