    I have a 09 Std. cab 4wd Taco, when braking normally it shakes and thumps in the right front corner. Replaced pads & rotors & front wheel bearing, made no difference. Anybody else experience something similar?

    Are your tires balanced?

    Try rotating your tires and see if the vibration changes location.

    Tires are balanced, no wheel shake while driving or very light braking, only when pressing on brake pedal normal, feels like it's pulsating & thumping and appears to be coming from the right front wheel

    My guess would be warped rotor, but since you changed them, I would rule it out. Did you make sure you used the correct hardware? Made sure the pads weren't misaligned? Make sure they're lubed as well because sticking pads could cause that sensation.

    Might be a bad anti-lock brake sensor. Sounds like the anti-lock brake is sticking...
