I have replaced the front rotors, calipers & pads on my jeep. I have a vibration occuring between 20 -30 miles mph whether I'm coasting or apply the brake. I have changed the drivers side caliper twice because a mechanic said it was sticking, It didn't effect the outcome. Although there is no ilight indicating a problem which of course could be a burned out bulb, can you suggest where to search for the cause?

I tried your suggestion using both 1st & 2nd gear. I even changed the tire. Problem remains unchanged.

if vehicle is rearwheel drive it could be due to the Universal joints wearing out.

if thats not it suspension should be checked for wear on the bushings causing movement.
