Vibration when applying brakes
I had an certified Audi mechanic change all brakes and rotors on my Audi A8 2011 with 55,000 miles and now I have a vibration when I apply the brake around 50mph.I haven't noticed my steering wheel shake and I Don't have any noises. It seems like it starts with a slight vibration then the more I apply the brakes the harder the vibration becomes almost like you were having a flat tire. It seems like it's coming from the right front side. Any Ideas? Thanks for HELP.

Take it back. You paid for for a brake job without the vibrations.
They'll probably try some brake cleaner and if it persists, they'll probably turn the rotor in a lathe to clean it up.

Did this occur immediately or come on slowly over a period of time? I have never seen warped rotors, even after race track use. OTOH, i have seen pad deposits all the time, btu they come on slowly.
In any event, take it back.
What pads were used?

It's back at the repair shop today and we went for a drive and first thing they said that it may be a bushing? But they would pull it in and look at it. He did ask if the car has ever been in a drive thru car wash because he has seen warp rotors happen that way. Pulling into them and the brakes being hot and the water cooling them off could cause this?? But my car has never been in the drive thru wash. Thanks for your help, your answer sounds more professional than what I'm hearing this morning. Thanks

This happen about a few days to a week after getting brakes done. The repair shop said that it's 2 bushings and wasn't the brakes. We used all Audi. He did say the new Audi brakes are more catching and that could be what I'm feeling. Thanks.

warped going through car wash?
not likely, unless the brakes were stupidly hit and there was no line at the car wash (for them to cool).
I dont see how bushings alone would cause the vibration. they could make a brake vibration worse,...
