Sup all, I seem to have a problem, might be big. There's a very harsh vibration coming from the front drivers side area that only occurs when I'm on the brakes with say 30% force or less on the freeway. I can feel it in the brake pedal and steering wheel and its loud as heck. Any input or suggestions are appreciated

Yup, sounds like you have some warped/worn rotors and might as well do pads at the same time.

have fun removing the 2 screws off the rotor. the trick is to tap the screwdriver with a hammer as you unscrew it. its supposed to help break off any corrosion thats seizing up the screws. goodluck.

check the caliper slide pins as well

1. scoring
2. make sure the hole is packed with grease.

The slide pins allow the caliper to center itself, when they don't slide back and forth the pads come in contact with the rotors on an angle or uneven and you get vibration while braking.
