vibration issuses

i have got some steering wheel vibration at around 45-50 mph. higher speeds it's fine. this all happened after i changed my front rotors and brakes. got my tires balanced again (3000 miles after being mounted) and still vibration occurs. anything else i should check or have adjusted? i have a tacoma dbl cab prerunner. thanks

Check the runout on your rotors, approx 1 inch away from the edge to see if they are warped.

Rotors could be out of balance.

I would suppose remove them, have them checked on a brake lathe with a dial indicator. [ runout ]

Some rotors I have seen have weights driven down into the cooling fins to balance them.

Or, have the tires/wheels balanced on the rig, this way everything gets balanced.

Could try replacing your steering rack bushings, but, really, 45-50mph range aint too bad.

Also, have you tried rotating the tires?
