It could be alot of things. Here is what you can check:

Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors: Worn-out brake pads or warped brake rotors are common causes of brake vibration. Have a mechanic check the condition of your brake pads and rotors. If they are worn or damaged, they may need to be replaced.

Check for Brake Caliper Issues: Inspect the brake calipers for any signs of sticking or malfunction. If a caliper is not releasing properly, it can lead to uneven brake pad wear and vibrations.

Wheel Balance and Alignment: Ensure that your wheels are properly balanced and aligned. Unbalanced or misaligned wheels can cause vibrations when braking. Have the tire balance and alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.

Inspect Suspension Components: Problems with the suspension system, such as worn-out bushings or shock absorbers, can transfer vibrations to the brakes. Have the suspension components inspected for wear or damage.

Examine Tires: Unevenly worn or damaged tires can affect braking performance and lead to vibrations. Check your tires for proper tread depth and condition. Replace tires if they are worn or damaged.

Brake Fluid and Brake Lines: Contaminated brake fluid or air in the brake lines can also cause braking issues and vibrations. Consider having a brake fluid flush to ensure the brake system is functioning correctly.

Inspect Wheel Bearings: Worn wheel bearings can lead to vibrations and affect braking performance. A mechanic can check the condition of the wheel bearings and replace them if necessary.

Check for Warped Drums (if equipped): If your Toyota has rear drum brakes, inspect the condition of the brake drums. Warped drums can cause vibrations when braking.

Inspect for Exhaust System Issues: Occasionally, exhaust system components may come into contact with the brake system, causing vibrations. Ensure that there are no loose or damaged exhaust components near the brakes.
