i get a bad juddering/shaking of the steering wheel while braking medium-hard

the front disks and pads look fine, however could be warped....

could it be the rears that are in need of replacing by any chance and not the front??
how can i check or confirm this??

if you can feel it through the pedal and the wheel its fronts, if its rears you will only feel it in the pedal
