Hey guys, I've had a recent "problem" creep up on me. If I really get on the brakes pretty good from 45mph or faster, I'll get a low frequency vibration for a second right when the brakes start to really grab, and then it goes away. Any idea what this could be?

Is it from the front or rear?

Oh yeah sorry. It's coming from the passenger side front, and you can feel the vibration in the floor board a little bit

If you don't think its simple like a warped rotor. I would check the wheel bearings and ball joints, and tie rod ends.

Sounds like a rotor to me.

X2 def sounds like a warped rotor.

I've had warped rotors, and this feels nothing like it. It's a humming vibration that only lasts for a second. If they were warped it'd keep going all the way until I stopped

Ball joints scare me...

Ball joint replacement without appropriate tools would scare me. Otherwise ball joints are pretty simple I think.

I've never done one and only have normal tools around here. Sockets/wrenches/etc

I don't know your skill level, but you can get the tool to do it with on load from advance I believe. Its really not complicated, don't be intimidated by it. Sometimes they are stubborn, but I am always more stubborn.
