Vibration when braking

Hello all,

When coming to a stop, I get some serious vibration. I notice it around maybe 30-35mph as i'm slowing down. I dont know what it means. Is this a tire out of balance? I do know I'm in need of an alignment, and I did have the front right tire replaced (new) two weeks ago. I notice it in the steering wheel and in my foot/brake pedal. I dont know the life of the brakes, they are not noisy.

Warped brake rotors. Replace, do not machine.

Re: Vibration when braking

Sounds like warped rotors, i recommend replacing the rotors instead of having them resurfaced (it's not good to resurface rotors, removing metal from the rotor is going to only amplify the problem of warping the rotors sooner than expected).

Re: Vibration when braking

warped rotor will do that and pulses the brake pedal as a result
