In checking back brakes I found they are worn very little considering 80K miles. It feels like too much pressure is going to front brakes. If I pull up emergency brake car comes to a slow smooth stop. Any ideas? den
hmm... not sure bout your vibration problem, usually that's a warped rotor. there's definitely something up with your front brakes though. your emergency brake only yanks your rear brakes, not your fronts. so if you pull it and it's smooth stopping then your front brakes are the culprit.
