Can a warped rotor cause a severe shake in front end even when your not using your brakes?

Definately!! The uneven displacement of mass caused by a warped rotor (also called rotor run out) can cause severe shaking at certain speeds. Ironically, this senario is usually created because the driver decided to slam on his/her brakes, which ended up warping the rotors in the first place.
