When I brake, my car vibrates. I changed my pads and it still vibrates. Any ideas what it could be?

warped brake rotor. it's that shiny disc thing just behind your wheel. if their warped, the brake pads engage unevenly, causing vibrations.

Your front brake rotors are warped. Sometimes they can be turned on a brake lathe to correct the problem and your looking at about $10 - $20 (US) for each rotor. If it can't be turned out, you will have to replace the rotors and that can get expensive depending upon what you drive.

Gary has the main suitable suggestion. Vibration from the brakes is commonly warped rotors. "Grinding" noises would desire to be wheel bearings going out. Squeaking or squeeling is your brake pads are executed. i'm unsure out of your description if the "grinding" is wheel bearings going out. probable not from the type you describe it, yet once you are going to take the rotors off for a resurface you would be repacking/analyzing the bearings besides. you'll want new seals once you pull the bearing out.

Your brake rotors are probably old and deformities in them are causing your brakes to slow your wheels and different sporadic rate, making your car shake back and forth or vibrate. You should have them looked at, it is probably time to have them replaced.

Could be problems with the ABS, but I will bet that you just need your rotors turned (ground down) This is especially true if you changed the pads yourself. A shop would check the rotors

Warped rotors, loose wheel bearings, bad CV Joints, bad struts, tires badly out of balance.

The brakes.
More specifically, your warped brake rotors - probably the fronts.

well dose it vibrate your steering wheel when breaking or driving if it dose check if you bolted the caliper and disc on tight,but if you had the problem before you charged your pads then it could be Tyre balance or something loose on your suspension or steering ,also check for cracked uneven brake disks or damaged calipers.

the rotors are warped, you need to have them resurfaced or buy new ones.

My vehicle did this once and it was the rotors.
