Re: Front end vibe after brake pad/rotor replace

Check your tie rod ends and ball joints for wear as well. Shaking/vibration during high-speed braking can be caused by sloppiness in the steering and suspension.

Also don't forget to clean and reajust the rear brakes so that they are contributing as well. Front brakes that do all the work will eventually warp. You should be able to feel the rear brakes engage slightly before the fronts when braking lightly. Good luck!
