still might be rotors... assuming your "light" accident didnt have any frame damage

I'd have a dealer look at the suspension. Sounds like something is loose.

Who did this work?
Did you return and complain?
If the shop that did the work and can't resolve the problem take your vehicle to the dealer and let them diagnose the problem. If the shop that originally did the work did not do a proper job you can request a chargeback on your credit card for poor workmanship.

You may end up having to replace the rotors with new brake pads and have the dealer do it. You want to be sure there is no other damage related to the crash.
Test drive it immediately for any shimmy

Never pay for any work except on a credit card preferably one that doubles any warranties..

Good luck

hi to all and thanks for the replay ,the repair was maid a shop and the owner is friend of mine . the damage was not very big in the front of this car they have like an aluminum sub frame extension and this part was the only one that was damage ,it was a lateral impact by the driver side on the bumper and they replace the rail and the put the rest of the components ,today i toked to the shop where they did the balance of the tires and they are checking that again and another issue that i have is that my engine mount are broke so i have to replace.
i do all the mechanic stuff by my self and is not looking like hard job to do but any of you have done this before ?any recommendation is very welcome
thanks
