I have a 1992 MTX and I just replaced the front brake pads and the front right rotor with a used one form an 89 SHO.

My question is that the wheel wiggles from side to side very slightly while driving but it does not get worse when braking. I also hear a squeak from the right wheel area from inside the car while driving slow with the windows down.

I did not resurface either rotor when I replaced the pads.

Do you think that a resurfacing of each rotor will solve the problem or do I need new wheel bearings or CV joints.

Thanks

a wiggle is probably due to new pads on a warped rotor. You should always do brake work in pairs, since not doing so can cause imbalanced braking. Also, brand new 89-93 rotors are 19/ea from autozone.
