Chevrolet Repair/1998 Chevy Blazer Brakes

Question
I have a 98 Blazer and the steering wheel is vibrating badly.  I'm not sure if it's related, but I just bled the brakes, and only got a light drip of fluid from the Passenger Rear Tire.  I'm thinking maybe the rotors are bad?  Not sure.  Any help would be awesome.  Thanks.  Jeff

Answer
Hi Jeff.... is it when you step on the brakes or just when driving...if you had the wheels off check to make sure that they are installed flat against the rotors and torqued to spec. if it's when you step on the brakes you have warped rotors...change them and install new pads with the new rotors, make sure that the calipers slide free and caliper pistons are not siezed...hope this helps
