Question front brake question

I had a bad right front hub last month. replaced it. Then had the right power slot rotor turned because the pads were shot along with the rotor. I installed new SD hawk pads on both sides. I tried to avoid buying new rotors. I now have a worse shutter while braking than before. So I assume the rotors are shot because both sides, hubs are now done recently. These are power slots but I think they are warped. I put them on in 2007. I also tow a 15k triple axle toyhauler every summer about 6-7 times. so they probably got somewhat hot. I just completed the rear rotors and pads yesterday because they were shot. So if i just replace the front rotors I should still be able to use the SD pads i just put on 2 last week right? I figure the pads cant be that conformed to the old rotors to bad as yet. Im just going to buy some front rotors from fleetpride for the front and use the SD pads hopefully. Also the pins are fine, I checked them last week when I put the pads on. thanks Jeff

You should be ok because you havent had the pads on the truck too long. By rights you should change them all out at the same time
