I've recently changed the CV axle, the wheel hub assembly, and the rotor. The car still wobbles when driving gets worse at higher speeds and going uphill. When braking the car pulls to the right and back left when letting off the brakes. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

There are few reasons why the brakes will pull to a side.
One of most common one is seized caliper slide bolts.
The caliper slide bolts become stuck the caliper will either not fully engage or release, which leads to the brake pull. One of the easiest ways to check is after a drive check the temperature of the calipers with an infrared laser temperature reader. The side that is sticking will be noticeably hotter.

The caliper can also stick if the brake hose has internal restriction and won't allow fluid to go back when releasing the pedal.

It can also pull due to worn ball joints.

Take a look at this guide, it covers the common issues with the brake pull:

As for the wobble, does it increase as you go faster?
It can be worn suspension component or could a tire issue, like being out of balance.

Did you have the pulling issue before replacing those components?

Please let me know any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
