A bad rotor would not necessarily cause a bad vibration as it would most likely create a noise and wear your break pads down unevenly. It could be as simple as an unbalanced tire or a warped rim. Also if your tires are choppy then a vibration can become noticeable. Also a bad bearing or axle could cause vibration (however, it would be noticeable at a lower speed).

Vibration in your 1996 corvette all the tires are balanced and you have new brakes and rotors but still have a vibration?
Check your wheel bearings, tie rod ends, balljoints and CV axles. A bent rim will also cause a shake at high speed.
Why am I getting high speed vibration on my 1995 Toyota Camry when it has new tires wheels have been rebalanced it has a new alignment and the shocks are good?
A couple possibilities to check out are the lower control arm/ball joint assemblies or the brake rotors. On the Camrys, warped brake rotors along with mediocre quality brake pads is a common cause of high speed vibration. The solution - new brake rotors and preferably ceramic brake pads which will help solve the noise, vibration, and harshness. Alos, make sure all nuts and bolts are torqued to proper specs.
What happens when the rotors are warped?
Warped brake rotors will cause pulsation (or vibrations at high speeds) when the brakes are applied. This may also go on to misalign the calipers and cause other vibration related damages.
The speed of what tells whether a sound will be a high or low pitch?
The speed of the vibration. High speed vibration = high frequency = short wavelength = high pitch. Low speed vibration = low frequency = long waves = low pitch.
Off and on vibration at high speed tires are fine so are the brakes and rotors?
Are rims bent, check body bushings or check engine with scanner for variations in running
Why is there a vibration in the steering wheel when I brake at high speeds?
Either your drums or rotors are out of round.
When putting on the brakes to slow down from a high speed the car shakes what can cause this problem?
Warped brake rotors/drums.
Can vibration cause itch?
yes, A vibration with a frequency high enough to cause itching
You are starting to get vibration from your front end at high speed does anyone know what this may be?
At high speed vibration usually its tire balance. Have your tires rotated and balanced.
I am starting to get vibration from my front end at high speed does anyone know what this may be?
A high speed vibration can be the result of a wheel out of balance or a tirerod end getting bad. I would have my frontend check . actionjac
Why a car vibrate at high speed and its steering wheel shake when braking just at high speed?
High speed vibration is often an indication of a wheel that is out of balance or a bent rim. It can also be a bent driveshaft or bad U-joint. Vibration when you brake at high speed is almost always a warped rotor on the disk brakes.
What could cause vibration in the tires when applying brakes at high speeds on a Honda Odyssey van It has new pads and rotors and tires have been rotated regularly?
new rotors can have high spots have them turned also if lug nuts are over tight it can do the same thing i always use a torx stick when installing wheels back on the car or truck
