    When I drive at higher speeds the steering wheel oscillates left and right. When I brake, the movement is much more pronounced.

    What could this be? I need to take it back to the repair shop.

    Did you bed the new brake pads?

    I don't think so. I didn't do this myself. A repair shop did the changes. Rotated tires, changed brake pads, changed a caliper and rotors.

    They said it was a faulty right caliper. Just FYI. Drives good so far.
