What makes you think it's not a wheel balance issue? If it started suddenly, it seems like it'd be a balance issue, no? ...As if one of your lead weights fell off. Did you inspect the inside of your rims for that?
Jeph, folks here usually give advice within an hour. I'm quite concerned about this problem so I bumped it... and you took notice, so it worked!

I inspected my wheel weights and didn't see any missing. Doesn't mean a wheel isn't out of balance, but I did inspect them.

I have never had a violent shaking issue while braking from a wheel out of balance, but then again, every issue I've encountered with this car has been a first for me.

I'll take it in and get the wheels balanced asap and report back. Could be a wheel bearing or a worn suspension part now that I think about it.

I don't know why I dread a warped rotor... possibly because I put zimmermans all the way around and I don't want to swap all four out for solid OEM ones.
