Default Vibrating/pulsing

Ok I have a 2004 v6 stang and I don't know WHAT is wrong with it. It vibrates likes crazy everytime I stop and it has this like pulsing too while it vibrates. I am afriad that it may be the differential. -_-

Any suggestions before I take him to a mechanic!?

I have considered that it may be that the rotors need resurfacing (cause they DO) but I really don't think that's what it is because the pulsing is intense.

Is the vibration in the pedal as you hit the brakes? Or is it in the motor - and the whole car shakes moving or not?

I'd check the vacuum lines to the brake set up first. Could be as simple as a line off or cracked.

So when you are moving and applying the brakes is the only time you feel it?
I'd say have your rotors turned.

Check your bushings in the front. I've heard worn bushings can cause a vibration when braking. It's worth a look while your under there.
