Default Vibration in the steering wheel/brake pedal under braking...not rotors!

I have been through 3 sets of rotors, and replaced the front spindle/hub with the gsr brakes up front, only thing that has survived all the changes is the upper a-arms that has a ingals camber kit and the axles. Car rides smooth until i hit the brakes, then there is a lot of shaking that feels like it is comming from the drivers side. Could this be an axle or the upper a-arms causing this problem? thanks.

check to see if your rotor sits flat on the hub. maybe something is stuck behind it making the rotor not sit flat on the hub.

the only that should cause vibrations during braking is the rotor so check that.
