it could be just slightly off and your suspected thrust arms maybe don't help!

light braking vibration- cause?
I replaced my front rotors and pads with ATE oem style rotors and Raybestos QS creamic pads about 10,000 miles ago. Just in the past week or so, I have started to notice a slight vibration when light braking. None on heavy braking? Not sure what to look for? However, I do suspect thrust arms.
FYI, tires were rotated and balanced two weeks ago. I do it every 5,000 miles. Runs smooth with no vibration at any speed. Only on braking.
TIA

I think so.
I thought about that. Even so, that is possible. even though it is the same shop I always use and they use quality Hunter equip and hand torque the lug bolts to 72 foot lbs which I believe is spec.
Thrust arms do clunk a bit with busted boots. Time to replace regardless.
