my money is on bad rotors... jack the car up and check if you hear a light scraping noise when the wheel turns. if the scrape noise occurs only for an instant, like when a certain point of the rotor passes through the pad area, then you know somethings not lining up right. i would have a shop take a look at that or maybe a seacond set of hands

it can sometimes be a matter or tire pressure. i went through a front end shake and got all worried, come to find out i had really uneven tire pressure. fixed it right away
