Vibration when braking

Vibration when braking
I've had some pretty noticeable pulsing when I brake, at almost all speeds. Feels as if I'm on rumble strips. My confusion is that I've checked my pads, had my rotors checked, and my tie rods seems to be fine and aren't loose. It was just aligned and it happened with my old highway tires as well as my new BFGs. Any thoughts to what could be the cause?

I had the dealer check my whole break system when I took it in to get my cats replaced, they said they couldn't find any issues. I can feel it in the steering wheel and even passengers can notice it. Kinda makes the steering wheel jerk side to side from vibrations

Big mystery, eh? Sounds like the classic symptoms of warped rotors to me...it's almost certainly a braking issue, as that is when it happens, right? Let us know what you find out.

I have had some rotors run good on a dial indicator but once the get hot they expand and warp, then once they cool they return to their original state.
Keep that in mind.
It kinda sounds like something may be loose.. A wheel or caliper braket..
