2007 IS 250 AWD read this, need help
When you guys step on the brake pedal, does your car's steering wheel slightly vibrate? My hands can tell the difference with stepping on the brake or not. Just wondering if this is normal...

No, take it to your dealer and have them test drive it.

tire alignment. When I had my other car realigned, there was a chart and it said that when braking if you feel shuddering or vibrations, its a possible sign for a realignment.
Did you happen to run over anything big or hit a big pothole. Maybe the curb? jk. hahah.

I disagree on alignment. He only gets the vibration while stepping on the brake pedal.
My guess is either warped front brake rotors, or uneven pad deposits on the front rotors.

This is most likely alignment, but it could also be uneven application of the brake pads due to sticking.

I also agree that it is most likely brake or suspension wear related.
