brakes vibrating and pulsing

WHenever I brake theres a srtong vibrating and pulsing in the font end. I checked the brakes and rotors when I replaced the cv shaft a week ago looked good. Also when im driving on the freeway and I go around a curve i feel a wash board type vibrating. Any ideas

Just buy new ones, the price difference is not enough to justify getting them turned.

You can get brembo from tireracks for like 40$ each i think. which isn't too bad. Had mines for awhile and it's still true

First reposition the rotors on the hubs (move them 2 bolt holes from original location) sometimes this may work;
Vibration while going around the curve on high speed may be caused by combuned tire wear (out of round and worn steering linkage)

Definitely sounds like warped discs- do as Doctor J says and report back... Though in all honesty it will only work as a temporary fix (in my experience) as you'll only buy time until the discs start to cause wobble again.

I recommend the Brembo discs. Very high-quality stuff.
