Question Brake Problem?

When I hit the brakes very hard I get a rumbling noise up front, and can feal it in the brake pedal. Pads are new,wheel bearings are new, and right front caliper is new. Any ideas?

Sounds like your rotors are warped. They either need to be machined or replaced.

yeah it sounds like LxMan1 said it sounds like you need new rotors. It is just as cheap now adays to buy new ones as it is to have them turned. and even if you do just have them turned you will have to buy new ones next time you change your brakes so i would go ahead and save yourself the heartache and just do it right from the get go

any suggestions what brands would you recommend for the brake pads? I currently use Motorcraft brake pads and I just want to improve the "bite" of my brakes. Thanks
