Hi,
When I apply the brakes the front end shakes the left side more then the right. Tried new brakes, routers and hub, none of those item helped. It only does it when braking.

If it only does it when braking, then the problem is definitely in the brake system somewhere. It needs to be examined closely, possibly using a dial indicator to measure the rotor runout.

This continuous problem would also have led to more wear and tear on the steering components on that side which will exaggerate the symptoms.

So I can replace the rotors and calibers and should take care of it.
