Brake vibration problem

After the pad were changed on my front wheels, everytime I apply the brake, the car started to vibrate. I have a mechanic check the brakes and he said there is nothing wrong with it. Is this a because of the new pads or something loose?

Thanks.

Could be that your rotors are warped. That produces a very noticable vibration when brakes are applied. If they are, they'd need to be cut or replaced. But I would have expected a mechanic to catch something like that.

Have you checked theother brakes?
1 rear brakes, and 2 parking brake?
Then see if your wheels were put on and torqued properly, it may not be so these are the cheapest troubleshooting tips oyu should try.

i had the same sort of problem. turns out after i spent $60 on new pads and rotors, the retards at the dealership forgot to put the anti-rattle springs back in. anti-rattle springs are basicly tiny little pieces of wire that go in tiny holes on the pads. if you need a pic, i'll see what i can do, but i'd definitely see if that's it. new ones cost like $1

Sounds like the rotors are warped, Hajoca is right, if the wheels where improberly torqued this could warp the rotors.
