    It sounds like your rotors. Check your pads first, and if their ok then have your rotors checked. If they are grooved, then just replace them. They are cheap.

    Your rotors are warped.
    Do like Nate says. It's cheap enough to get the rotors replaced instead of machining it. And do both sides.
