The rotors could be new but could be warped too-best thing to do is have it Mike out for excessive parallelism and out of roundness

Felt like warped rotors so we changed all.steering wheels shakes seat shakes brake pedal does at first then goes away.feels like the whole front end shakes.I would not think sway bar bushings would make it feel like that.when the pedal stops shaking the rest of the truck still does.
