Hey guys iam getting major brake chatter could this be the slide pins needing to be greased or just uneven wear on the pads and rotors?

all the time or just when you hit the brakes? sounds like rotor warpage have the rotors turned
 






no just when i brake
 












when you say chatter - do you mean squeal/squeak?
 






when i say chatter i mean vibrate like shake the ex when i stop
 






sounds like warped rotors - but also 1st gen x has a tendancy to have the hub nut work loose - check that also. could be a combination of the 2
 






has anyone one else had this problem
 






this is what you do get a jack under it lift up a fron wheel off the ground can you wiggle the wheel up and down? if you can you need to tighten that bearing if you can't wiggle it then the bearing should be fine next spin the wheel does at any point feel like the wheel is harder to turn? if it does then you have a warped rotor but even if you don't feel that my bet is still a warped rotor also while your doing that might as well check your ball joints to cheers
