pad manufacture error. Was slightly off centered.
I've had this weird vibration/oscillation that got worse over the course or 6+ months. Multiple tire balance/switching to different wheel sets that i had but couldn't get anything consistent. 2 winters ago one day it was so bad I didn't feel comfortable going over 50 driving home on the freeway. Decided to check the pads for some reason and found the outer edge of the pads (about 2 or 3 mm's) that were not worn as it was outside of the rotor on a half worn pad. So the part that was not worn was randomly grabbing the outer edge of the rotor causing vibration/oscillation.
Same rotor has been on 4 sets of pads and that was the only pad that I had issue with. I believe that one was a brembo brand pad.
