I would also make sure that your rims are tighten down properly. I have had my
rims off during brake work before and hastily put them back on only to find
out that they were not pulled down (seated) properly. Caused the exact symptom
you descibed as I took it out for a test drive. Aftermarket rims are more
easily prone to this issue.
