i can here a rumbling noise on the front right wheel. i can feel alittle on the pedal. could this be sway bar linkage? i havent looked yet it's been wet outside. it's been like this for a yr. also i think it can be the rotors.

Wheel bearing, rotor or pads.
 
happened to me to. wheel shook when braking. replaced the rotors and pads and went away. i wouldnt take a trip with those brakes if i were you. only takes about 25 min. to change brakes
 
mine did the same thing, it was the wheel bearing. one way to make sure that's the problem is to turn slightly left and right while driving straight (dont go off the road) and at some point you will hear and possibly feel a grinding noise. if you dont hear that, make sure your caliper mounts are tight, and that your brake pads are not worn out....
