OK so I have to eat my words... Rear rotors solved the issue. I wish I had noticed the e-brake didn't use the caliper like my old 300ZX did. Thanks everybody.

I have the same issue going on right now just the way you explained it. How did you fix the issue?
ive replaced the rotors and pads twice, struts, tires, alignment and so on. The only thing I haven’t changed was the hubs which I’m going to even tho there is zero play in them.

I hope to hear how the problem was resolved. Thank you

I don’t think it’s rotors. I’m on a 2nd brand new set of rotors. The first set my brake guy thought I over heated them when bedding them in. Then he gave me a new set up and I’ve just been bedding them in very slowly. It only happens after 10 minutes of driving. Why I don’t think it’s the rotors is I can be driving for 40 minutes and not use the brakes once at 3am and when I start to brake to exit is when I feel it. The rotors would be cold. The only thing that would be hot is my hub bearings. Even tho I’ve checked them on the lift. I haven’t checked the hubs after I’ve put heat to them is why I think it may be the issue.

Jack the car in the air and spin the wheels. If the wheel wobbles, then its wheel bearings.
