Default Front brakes still rumbling

So last week when I applied the brakes, the front brakes would rumble a bit.

I figured it was my rotors needing to be replaced since I knew they were low.

I replaced the rotors but did not replace the pads (they still had a lot of life), and now the brakes are still rumbling. It seems as though the pads are just having a hard time gripping to the rotor.

Any suggestions?

Never replace just rotors whatever imprint your rotors left on your pads from rumbling just got transfered to your brand new rotors get new pads and go to.a shop and see of your rotors need to be resurfaced

Happend to me with my old cherokee.
I thought I had knocked somthing loose or broke a rotor(trailing at the time).
Turned out to be that one of my calipers was going bad and would lock up wierd.
