Weird thing's been happening lately when i drive.
To start, my car has no mods, its an '05 5at with the 19 inch stock rims and pretty much brand new tires.

Anyways, when i've been driving lately, around 30-40 mph, i feel a crazy inconsistent vibration through my gas pedal and floor boards, but it feels like it is coming from the brakes/rotors/calipers based on the repetition when it actually does vibrate. I'm not entirely sure and i'm not experienced with this. I'm not about to pay the dealership money to sit around and BS with me just to drill holes in my pocket. I believe it is time for some new front brake pads, but they are by no means horrible. Rotors are not seamlessly smooth, but are also not horrible.

After doing a search i've read some things about wheel bearings and spindle ball joints, but i have no idea what this could be.

Any help/opinions/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Dude, you gotta meik sum callz 'round and find reputable mechanic. It'z hard to troubleshoot suspension problemz over the 'net.
Busted bearings do not give much vibrationz, and spinle jointz(compression rod bushings) do not vibrate-they do "clunk-clunk"

i'm still waiting to get an answer for this. but i made an appointment at the dealership to finally get it checked out. now the vibrations are pretty consistent between 15 mph and 40 mph. The only thing that varies is the extremity of the vibrations. It seems like its pretty constant in the background, but sometimes it's more apparent. Also when i say vibrations, it kinda feels like a grinding of some sort that is repititious enough to be a vibration. And i mainly feel it through my gas pedal

Ya know, this almost sounds like tires need to be rebalanced. Might not be suspension
