I decided to take my vehicle to a shop for analysis on the "chirping bird". I was not surprised that the diagnosis was a problem with the CMP sensor. The cost for replacing the whole unit is $300.00, this I found worth the price.
I replaced the front rotors and brake pads, this stopped the vibrating while braking. The pads and rotors are very easy to replace on this vehicle, total time was probably 2 hours( job was done at my parents so I spent a considerable time talking to my dad).
Thanks for the help.
