When I apply the brakes on my truck, I feel a lot of vibration in the steering wheel. Is this caused by a possible warped rotor(s) or could it be strut related (they are the original struts)? Maybe it's the cheap pads I put on the last time I did the front brakes. I did have the rotors turned. Thanks!

in most cases this is caused from warped brake rotors. the rotors have a min thickness to be able to disperse the heat .
