Default Help me figure out wheel vibration?

I am experiencing wheel vibration when braking under constant pressure.My friend has done majority of work..More pronounced on drivers side. I have koni yellows/lowering springs..Just recently changed outer tie rods and got a wheel alignment..These repairs helped a little..Yesterday I swapped out the rotors and changed the pads..The vibration is still there.Anyway my friend suggests that it might be the steering rack..We are welcome to all suggestions and comments..Thanks!

Please check the pin that the caliper rotates on (the pin/bolt is what the caliper rotates up on when changing the pads). It is covered by a small dust cap, pry it off and make sure it is tight.

I have been having that same problem. Put axxis pads and rotors on her this summer and i just did the rear brakes and i started to get a shake. Took my front rotors off to find out there warped already! Well im gonna call cobalt and see what he deal is and start there.

And yes check the caliper pins too and grease them like someone posted. I did that already too.
