My brake shake was coming from the slide pins in the BACK. The pins on the passenger side were completed rusted/seized up. Fixed that and "brake shake" is GONE!

When my hub went bad, I started getting the shimmy shake that made me think it was the brakes again.

Well, finally got to checking the front rotors. Passenger rotor run out is 0.004 on the outside surface and 0.007 on the inside surface, Drivers side is 0.0055 outside and 0.0045 inside. Seems like a lot to me- any input?
(Also checked the rear slide pins- they were not sticking but did not slide as easily as they should - cleaned and greased- work great now.)
