not when turning, just when coming to a stop, but not every time, but most of the time and my left front tire is wearing on the inside, it feels like it is coming from the left side

It's the calipers
I've been through this twice now - once for the driver's then for the passenger side calipers. I would get small to very large vibrations at random speeds and at random times - this all depended on when the caliper decided to seize. Unfortunately, this also warped good rotors... I would replace the calipers and have the rotors turned, if not replaced.

maybe warped rotors???
Aftermarket rotors specially those lower quality ones are sometimes warpped. (Slotted and drilled ones)
Places where they cut rotors can tell you if they are badly warped.
The glide/slide pins could be sticking too. replace them if they are no longer round.
