Default Help Diag this problem

2003 sc430 with 46k miles. 19 inch wheels running toyo t1r 245 275 setup. Tires have 10k miles and no other mods done.

Recently replaced front brake pads due to clunking or wobbling sound after 20 mph or more in the front right side. Then clunking/woble sound came back in the front left now. Took it to a shop who replaced my pads(oem) and he said either te shocks or front tire isnt round perfectly. Im like WHAT???????

The sound did go away after replacing the pads... i have no idea why it is making the same sound on the left side now.. more vividly it seems. Bent wheels? Rebalance the wheel? Alignment issue? (cant remember last time the car got alignment.. lol.. wife cant recall either) She did pay hefty $700 bucks for 30k service from Stealer (it was dont before we got married so i had no idea )

What should i do guys?

BTW, the wheels are RR Status wheels that D-Autosports vender sells on this forum.. i think those wheels are strong enough.. maybe it got bend after hitting those LA street potholes? Any shop in LA area you guys recommend? Please help.. the sound is driving me and the wife CRAZY..

well look at the tread on your tires. if there is even wear then its not the tires, and your alignment should be ok. else its prob either a rotor bent or the rim

Yes, the faster i go the more "sound" it creates...

The tire thread seems fine... still looks pretty new as my wife does not drive crazy.

As far as rotors/wheels.. seems very possible... ill update you guys after i take it to a shop...

BTW.. any shops recommeded in LA area?
