Does the brake pedal pulsate? If yes, warped rotor.

Do you hear a grinding noise? If yes, worn brakes + maybe a bad caliper.

If the vibration gets worse when the brakes are pressed Its in the brake system .Pedal usually pulses but I assume its possible for that not to happen.

I had a caliper seize up. Brake started smoking! Hit it with a non contact thermometer 500+* vs about 130 on the other side
