So I replaced my pads and rotors about 2 or 3k miles ago when my brakes were shuttering bad and it still somewhat does it at around 60 to 65mph. Also when I go over bumps my car clunks and it is getting old. And lastly my steering feels loose and I can't remember if it started doing it right after the I got the recall done for the power steering or not. So my question is. Is it possibly just one problem or more likely a couple of little ones.

edit: And I have searched just seeing if it could be one big one or little ones.

first who did the install you or a mechanic?

rotors even brand new can be slightly warped, if you had a dealer do them take it back and get them to turn them, should be under warranty of the repair.

the loose steering could be a few things.

I put the brakes on myself. If they were slightly warped wouldn't it shutter at all speeds or no?

Honestly I don't know. I haven't looked at all. I was thinking it's either the end links or the bushings myself. Just seeing if it could be something bigger.

The clunking is almost definitely the control arm bushings. I've had to replace both of mine
