shaking points towards warping of your rotors also....you brake those in properly when you get your car? the engine isn't the ponly thing that needs breaking in when you get them.

I have 28,000 plus miles in 10 months and i've been through one set of pads and
i'm about to change it again in a few weeks........ i think u should change your pad to
once u start hearing sqeeking from your wheels than it's time to change........

Mines were so wore down it was the size of a credit card and when i spun my wheels when
it was on a jack it sqeeled hahahah........ most likely your right pad is
more weared down than ur left pads......... it's weird........ so just check ur pads and change them
before you rotor needs cutting
