Q: front brake vibration

asked by on March 10, 2016

My brakes were vibrating like crazy (warped?) so I changed them. Front rotors and pads. Both cheap models from Napa. Used old clips. I drive an 07 outback. Vibration is still there. WAY less but still absolutely evident during hard braking. It's the same type of feel as the old ones, just less-so. What could it be? Thanks for your time!
