Hi guys,

My neighbor and I changed all the brake hardware (pads, shoes, fluid, etc) on his Ford Escort (Yeah, I know this is a Porsche Forum- but I knew you guys could help). Everything seemed fine and operated well. After a couple of days of driving, it now shimmies when brakes are applied. Did we get air in the lines during bleeding? What should I check for the shimmy problem? The front brakes are disc, and the rears are hydrolic drums.

Thanks,
