I have a Mitsubishi lancer also and I found out after a discussion with the dealer service manager that a similar problem comes from warped front disc rotors. I noticed that there was a slight pulsing of the brake pedal at low speeds but the brakes worked as they should. I went to a brake specialist where I get all my clutch and brake parts and he informed that the genuine rotors are made of inferior metal and warp early in the service life. As they are not covered by warranty I bought after market discs of good quality and the problem went. What I am trying to say is that your low mileage problem is about the same as when mine started. If the disc rotors are warped then at speed the continuous touching of the pads will produce a vibration affect at high speed as at lower speed the vibration will be barely noticeable. Take the car to a reputable brake specialist and have him test the discs as to running true and are not warped.
If it only does it when you are using the brakes, I would check the brakes on both sides. If it does it without using the brakes, I would look for a bad tire on the front. One of the tires could have a broken belt inside the tread. Could also be a bad wheel bearing on the front.
your antilock brakes are activating. i would suspect one of your wheel speed sensors is acting up. (showing 0 mph while moving). need to get a scanner on it and monitor the wheel speed sensors, suspect you will see one reading 0 usually at lower speeds.
Have you had the wheel rebalanced? Also, you could swap it to the rear of the car. If the vibration goes to the back, it's a problem with the wheel/tire. If it stays, you have a suspension issue.
If it's the wheel/tire, check for a bend in the wheel, abnormal wear on the tire, proper tire pressure, and evidence of missing weights. Rebalance the wheel and if that doesn't do it, you'll need a new tire, possibly a new wheel if it's damaged.
bad front bearing/abs sensor The sensor is part of the bearing,or the wires are bad so that when you steer it open circuts and thinks the wheel is stopped. need to read codes or use a scan tool with live data to see which wheel the computer thinks is stopping. then look at that wheel for problems
Have you a had a 4 wheel alignment done?If all four wheels aren't set to a comman center line it cause it to shake,a warped brake rotor could cause this also.
You most likely have a wheel speed sensor dropping out this would make abs system think one wheel is locking up and therefore activate. this usually will happen rt before you stop at around 5mph or so.Also if you have bigger tires than factory and have not had abs programmed for this size it can aggravate it
