H i it sounds like you have some warped rotors in most cases you can have them turned if they are withen specs. If not you will have to replace them. Thanks Al

Hi i still think you have a problem with the rotors because you still have the vibration when braking.

but it will not hurt to have the drums checked while we are doing these repairs they could be a problem also.

Ihope this helps.

Thanks,

Al
