High speed or low speed when I brake my front end shakes pretty good. I changed the rotors and brake pads and the caliper on the right hand side of past year. I did both rotors with brake pads still shaking not as bad but still shaking.

Good afternoon,

When you changed the rotors, did you clean off the mounting surface on the hub?

When you were done the job, did you hand torque the wheels?

All this makes a difference with the rotors causing the vibration.

Also, the rotors, if you got the cheap ones, a lot of times they are warped out of the box. Parts houses sometimes do not stack them correctly and if they sit on a concrete floor, they will warp without even being sold.
