Vibration during braking is usually caused by warped rotors. Pulling to either side is indicative of more force being generated on one side than the other, may just need bleeding or may be trashed pads. Could also be the rubber hoses are damaged internally.
Pulling:
If the pads check out, bleeding doesn't fix it, no signs of a fluid leak at the caliper or master cylinder, *AND* the rubber lines are the factory pieces over 10 years old by now, replace the rubber lines. $12 each for Bendix replacements and just one line per caliper.
Vibrating:
You can remove the rotors and have a brake shop check them for trueness, or just buy replacements at the parts shop. Assuming standard 3rd gen brakes up front you're looking at about $40 per rotor brand new. Get a new set of pads while you're in there.
