It could be lots of things... your brakes may have ran out, your rotor may have been used up more than it should, or your axles are messed up. Most likely I believe your brakes are done. I could be wrong.

Its normal for your brakes to vibrate a little when you brake at speeds over 50 mph...since our brakes aren't that good anyways.

so wat should i replace first?? my brake pads or get new rotors first?

I cant really understand your question but it sounds like your rotors are warped. Resurface or replace them.

If your brakes pulsate at any speed your rotors are warped. You shouldnt have a vibration at any speed. Our brakes are the best out there

no i think my brakes wer jus freezing up bcuz my front left wheel is SUPER hot after i drive an the other three are ok so i think my front left brake pad is lik almost gone or somting so im gonna replace the brake pads
an if it was my rotors being warped does that happen from them being gettin wet an than driven an stuff lik me washin my car an sprayin water in ther?
an if it was rotors wouldnt it viberate my car the whole time? bcuz it only viberates somtimes an than i use my brakes an than somtimes after i go to a complete stop it stops the viberating? so i think my brakes wer jus freezing up bcuz my top left brake pad is gone so i think its stickin to the metal bcuz its so hot? idk my friend looked at it an plus i jus added som brake fluid an he said jus change the front brake pads

Probably a warped rotor, but it could be other things. You shouldn't spray cold water on hot brakes since that could cause warpage. Describe in more detail, like: does it happen at a certain speed? Does it happen all the time, or just when you step on the brakes? Does the steering pull a certain way when your on/off the brakes?

If it's ABS, you will feel it thru the pedal when you step on the brakes and you'll hear a loud grinding noise.

its my calipers! but im not sure if they r bad or jus need greased up
so me an my friend sprayed som thin grease an it seemed to unlock the caliper but somtimes when i reverse than drive straight thers a metal clicking noise from my driver side caliper! an uhh som ppl say calipers r bad, need greased, or loose brake pad
wut do u guys think?
my cars not bumpy no more its jus i hear the clickin noise when i reverse than go straight somtimes an the rotor+ rim are SUPER hot after driving
