vibration when braking
i have a 1996 kia sephia r.s. when i mashed on the brake pedal there was a hard vibration.i thought that the wheels was out of balance,well i got new tires in front,no help.i changed the front brake pads no help.i changed the back brake shoes no help. i noticed that the left front boot was cracked so i had the c.v. joint replaced.that didn't help.i have good brakes no prob but when you press the pedal it's not a smooth stop.what could be causing this? is this a bad brake booster and how can i tell without buying one? any suggestions? thanks.

I agree...get new ones, or get 'em turned. You can't tell that they're warped by looking at them.
