Pulsating brakes

For the past few months now, I've been having a pulsation in my brake pedal any time I step on it...the more I press, the faster it oscilates. When I bought the car about 7 months ago, the dealer replaced the pads, shoes and front rotors, so I figured it was the rear drums out of round, as they have 60,000 miles on them, but then I realized that there is a shaking in the wheel that matches the pulsations exactly which led me to believe that it was a problem with the front brakes...everything checked out; pads are still very good, and the rotors are still well within manufacturer's specs. Can an out of round rear drum cause the wheel the shake? Does anybody have any other ideas what it could be? I'm afraid of hard braking now with such a bad shaking pulsation.
BTW-2000 Focus with no ABS.
