vaccum lines. Rip/holes/tears in intake hose.

Check out the hose from the intake to the brake booster.

can someone tell me where the brake booster is? also, would this make my brakes shake when slowing down? i just replaced the pads/rotors, so i hope that's not it.

Online manual Section P. Look at (at least) pages 26 to 28. And yes, if you have an intermittent leak in the vacuum hose to the brake servo, you could get intermittent brake force.

Brake shake is either stiff sliders warped disks or both. I think there is supposed to be a gizmo to compensate idle for various loads, air, charge, bla bla bla, see if it slows for anything else, like try put the air on if you have it.
