Recently my car has been braking funny. I had my front brake pads replaced last November, however now when I brake, the brake pedal shakes more than the steering wheel (but the steering wheel still shakes a bit). Also, if I come to a quick stop from a higher speed, the brakes make a loud thudding noise. I am pretty sure my rotors need to be replaced, but a second opinion can't hurt! Thanks!

yes that is mostlikely the problem, you could even have a crack in one of the pads. have the rotors resurfaced or replaced and you should be good to go
