i just replaced all my brake lines in my car, and now when i press the brakes to slow down or stop it pulsates (the pedal) and the car keeps jerking like i am stabbing the brakes. is this do to air in the lines or is it a caliper hanging up or something? the steering wheel also shakes back and forth rapidly. thanks for any information you can give me

Rick and a couple others are on the money. Sounds like a warped rotor to me, did you replace them as well?
What was the reasoning behind replacing the brake lines?

air in the lines would be the most reasonable guess. They worked fine before you changed the lines? Did you bleed the brakes when you were done?

Sounds like one of the rotors isn't seated properly or is warped.

you might want to pull the front tires off and check the rotor maybee not all the way on. how was the petal before you worked on it the rotor could just be bad

if you didnt bleed your lines you need to do so and if there isnt enough brake fluid in the master cylinder you need to add some

sounds like either rotors or drums are warped or may be problem with ABS if your car has it

sounds like your rotors need to be turned/re surfaced
