Default Wheel Vibration after brakes/calipers replaced.

I replaced all the brake Pads, had the rotors turned and got new calipers on the front. After doing all this, I bled the entire brake system and took the car for a test drive. It now has a vibration in the steering wheel (quite noticeable) that seems to come and go sporratically, but it is there more often than not. This was not happening before I did all this work now it does it. I also seem to have a slight clunk noise when I turn at times both left and right. Not a CV joing type clunk tho. Any Ideas, suggestions? Please someone help me.
Thanks

I am glad that the problem is solved,,


But i tought that your car was a 1998 accord , same car you asked about brake bleeding correct ?? Well 1998 accord is when HONDA changed rotors back to floaters ,

WEll being floaters what hold the rotors on is the wheel stud nuts the 4 19mm wheel nuts, same ones that hold the wheel on , so are you saying the wheel was loose ?? because the 2 little phillip rotors screws that line up the rotors would not have caused the vibration and clunking ..
