Re: [DML] wobbly steering wheel

[Wayne Wagner <dmc-2447@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm getting the same thing happening with my steering wheel while 
braking.  Haven't dug too deep into the issue yet... but I plan on 
replacing the rotors/pads/flex-brake-lines hopefully this driving season.

Never thought about checking the torques... will have to look at that next.
