Okay my s13 has a wobble in the left wheel. And when I brake the wobble from that wheel becomes very intense shaking my steering wheel like crazy. Its not alignment

It happened after I tried to put my wheel on and something wasnt working right. There was a hubcentric spacer inside the wheel but it had been on the car for so long i forgot about it. Something went wrong and immediately after that I got the wobble.
The sencond time I took everything off, I realized it was there.
I figured the hub was fucked so I replaced it. The wobble was still there

Ive replaced the rotor also thinking it could be warped. That didnt change anything either so Im guessing it may be the caliper?

Could a caliper cause this? If maybe for some reason the pistons arent level? IDK I just need some ideas. I have Z32 calipers also

Yes this sounds just like a warped rotor not caliper issue,This usually happens when excessive heat is created from heavy braking,You may just need to have them turned at a brake shop costs probablly $10 per rotor depending on shop

,Again did you only replace 1?

the right side drives perfect. like i said it cant be the rotor because it has been replaced and nothing changed

your wheel bearing could be going out, if your claim is true about changing your rotor, caliper is supposed to be in a fixed postion, unless somethings broke..
