Most people / mechanics do not bother to give it a good look.


regarding your 'rumble' when braking...

I'd check the RIM / wheel temperatures after a normal daily drive
if a front rim/wheel is hotter than the other, it probably means a sticky brake calliper piston or a bad wheel bearing...
same goes for rear wheels but IIRC they have drums at the back, right?
Warped rotors will cause a rumble as well as air in the brake lines. Did you have the brakes bled recently?

I just properly read your post. I take back what I said. If you're not feeling anything in the brake pedal and you replaced your rotors then chances are it isn't your brakes. Maybe stabalizer links? Or bushings in that specific area of the drivetrain?
