Front End shakes when applying brakes only. Pads and master cylinder are pretty new. Is this something other than brakes?

Machining or replacing brake rotors is recommended with each brake job:
* The new pads should have a perfectly flat crosshatched rotor surface to mate to.
* Old friction material leaves a transfer layer of its friction on the rotor. If not removed, that material can cause noise concerns when new linings are installed.
* Wear patterns are never perfect. Rust rings and grooves will act like sand paper to new pads.
