Front end shaking after 5 lug conversion? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Recently purchased a 5 lug conversion. Was told they're OEM rears (S14/Z32) but the seller could not identify the fronts. They looked like ichiba to me, and didn't look like they had much use so I figured they'd be ok. Installed everything yesterday, and now the front end of my car is shaking terribly. Steering wheel, things laying on the floor, shifter, etc. Its also making a slight grinding noise, and the brakes squeak horribly when braking. The hubs came with D/S rotors all around (unknown brand) and they were a little rusty from sitting so I figured the rust would burn off after some miles. I also put brand new wheels (Battles) on mounted and balanced. Is it the bearings? My alignment was good before everything was installed.
