Think the calipers are bad too? what else would cause the vibration or shaking in the front end when braking
i recently had new front pads and rotors installed. no vibration/pulse issues, however im getting a maon/groan noise from one side...sounds like a dump truck breaks when i come to a slow stop.

jack the car up and see if you can move tires around, your wheel bearings might be bad.

^^^ prob not a bad idea.
i checked mine. triple checked actually. i have some play, but its exactly the same on both wheels, so id say its normal wear for 97,000 miles. i was kinda getting worried it might be a bearing issue, but both wheels have exactly the same play, in exactly the same directions, and my noise is coming from the passenger side only. also i have no vibrations or pulsing.
Jacob, you should def check yours if your getting vibrations. jack the car up, grab the wheel at 12 and 6 position, try to rock it. do the same at 3 and 9, and a few other places. if you get movement, you have wear.
i had a bit of movement at 12 and 6, little or none in the other positions, and i went around em all. once kinda half-assed, 2 times real thorough.

Getting the wheel bearings checked is free.
And, balance of the tire is not going to affect the way a car brakes. Trust me.
