If the vibration feels like it is coming from behind and slightly to the right of you then check your rear driveshaft U joints.

If it is coming form the passenger side make sure that your hub isn't locked and causing funny stuff with that axle.
If the wheel bearings are bad they are going to be noisy, and very noticeable when you left off the gas and have the radio off.

I had a similar problems and mine was warped and cracked rotors if you drive at night check if the rotors are glowing when you stop mine did this. i drove it on the high way and would get that shake (even sometimes around town) and one time i showed up at home hubs were melted and my brakes were white hot, took out the rotor had 3 or 4 cracks and was VERY badly warped

brownie u were close the pads were almost down to the rivits and both were missing the the anti vibration spring so went and got brakes for 26 bucks went to put them on and apperently had to buy the springs and things that holds the caliper on seperatly for 13 bucks and then didnt have a big enough c clamp to compress the center of the caliper so that was another 15 bucks to add on to the bill but of course there is always a bright side to it my grandma said she will pay me 150 for each brake i do on her exscape so that will be a pretty easy 600 bucks cant wait cause i need that money to start saving for my wedding since i purposed to my girl last sunday
