Default Bad vibrations cant figure it out!

Ok so I have really bad vibrations while brakeing..if im not going to fast or pretty fast its not as bad but when im going normal speeds its horrible...I thought maybe it was the rear rotors and pads cuz they were shot even though rear brakes are only like 27% of your braking...so I went ahead and replaced them...didnt help much at all..maybe a little...so I knew my left front wheel bearing was bad so I replaced it..didnt help hardly any..I know all my ball joints are shot but I dont think they would cause this much of a vibrations while braking..but more so while just driving...anyways I saw where a guy a while back had to replace both spindles..anyone think that could be my problem also?..any other ideas?

If your steering wheel shakes when you brake, then it sounds like its your front rotors. Get them turned and replace your front brake pads as well.

Ditto. Have you ever had your rotors cut? If so i would'nt reccomend getting them cut more than 2 times.

well i have another question...I just thought of this...I had my front rotors and brake pads changed like maybe 8 or so months ago..when the jackass did it he effed up one of my wheel bearings so there was a lot of movement in it..it was the drivers side..Ijust recently replaced the bearing so i was thinking maybe its just that one rotor that needs tobe turned..because if someone else drives my car and I sit in the passengers seat I dont feel much vibration at all if any..is it ok just to get one rotor turned...also would it be ok to leave the same pads on because they still have A LOT of life left in them and I dont wanna dish out more money for something I dont need..I think they usually turn rotors for about 25 dollars if im not mistaken..any help is appreciated!
