Recently I noticed that when braking from 100km/h (60mph) the car would shake and vibrate. I decided to check out the front rotors and pads. The rotors had quite a bit of thickness difference and were actually below the 23mm min thickness. So I got new rotors and pads.

I install the new rotors, pads and then go out to bed them in. I go on the highway and do some stops. My car is still vibrating! :x

I dont get it! What else could be wrong? The hub surface was clean and there looked to be no dirt or anything that could offset the mating surface with the rotor. Is it possible my wheel hubs are bent and have in/out play?

The car has new sway bar end links, ball joints, and tie rods that were all installed a couple of weeks ago. The driver side axle seems to be broken though, because it makes a noise every time I take off.

there alot of potholes around where you live? if so chances are you have bent wheels.
jack the car up and spin the wheel while looking at the inner rim edge, if it wobbles, its
bent. steel wheels will bend alot easier than alloy, but at the same time are easier to
bend back.

as for the brake vibration, you said you felt it in the car?, like the seat? could the rears be warped.
somtimes its hard to tell where the vibration is coming from unless you know the characteristics
of the car very well.
