Default Hi speed braking vibration

Anyone have any idea? Changed rotors, brakes rob ends. Wondering if the rob is the issue?

Same problem here...after new rotors mounting you measure how they fit there? maybe theyre not sitting right...

I have purchased new rotors that were "warped" Maybe you got a poor set.

thats a very odd solution. you would figure that the rotors you buy new would be perfect. if the rotors were not at fault, my thought would be that you have a faulty control arm bushing(s) and or worn front suspension.

Everything in the front is new and I mean everything. That is why I was thinking maybe tie rod. One of the new parts.

Still not completely satisfied with the rotor. Anyway for testing the tie rod, not the end the rob itself?

When I bought new rotors for my Monte Carlo they came with a sheet saying to take measurements to see if they were still in spec. Apparently some make it thought QC or are damaged in shipping.
