The wheel might be bent (kinda doubt that), or might need a rebalance.
This all sucks!

Today I purchased
- 1 New 6 Piston 1LE Front Right Brake Caliper
- Front Caliper Piston, Seal and Boot kit (sold as a set)
- 2 New 1LE Rotors (sold in sets and couldn't buy them individually
- OEM Front Brake Pads for a 1LE (sold as a set)
- 2 new front wheel hubs (replacing them both)
- 1 new wheel
When the caliper arrives, I have to tear it down, then have it ceracoated which will take between 2 weeks and a month to have it done by the same shop and the same color, then rebuilt using new pistons/seals/boots... ...and reinstalled.
So I am looking at sometime mid-January before my car is back to normal. Right now I still have to drive it so I'm in the right lane hobbling along at 5 - 10 MPH under the limit and avoiding freeway driving.
