Default 04' Chevy Malibu front brake viration

The viration came from the front (more likely on the driver side) happen when it run more then 30-35 miles up the passter the more viration will be, only happen when I step on the brake.
Check
1-the front-end all looking good
2-Brake pad are 75% life left
3-Caliper good
4-rotor good
5-Bearing good
6- Shacking the wheel for bad join or wearing out bearing and any other, look good
But I'm not very sure what I check are correct and I can't seem to find any wear out part.
What and where should I looking for next, Please Help.

Thank you

Rotors are warped. You cannot check for warped rotors by eye. either throw a new set on, or take the old ones off to get re-surfaced.
