It's the g*d d*mn mechanics, everytime they remove the tires they ALWAY over torque the freek'n lug nuts which causes your rotors to warp.Retorque all wheel lug nuts, I think it's around 80ft/lb, hopefully it is not too late. If it is already warped, the rotors may need resurface, better to by new they don't cost that much for your car. Take it back to where you had the brakes done and ask them to torque all the lug nut to 80 ft/lbs, these lazy SoB they probably using hi torque impact wrench over 200ft/lbs +.

Could be warped brake disc,s--rotors or wheel bearings badly worn or suspension problems

if your steering wheel jerks when you push the break its your front rotors it seems to be easy for people to blame over tightened lug nuts but the fact is lug nuts push the wheel against the rotor to form one piece they don't rub against each to cause friction so wheel being to tight will not cause the rotor to warp. but what does is hard breaking or when rotors are hot and then they get wet usually when you hit water on the road. rotors are easy to change even someone lacking experience can do it just pick up a mechanics book on the make and model of the car it shows step by step instructions on how to do it. most cars require an Allen wrench , c clamp , lug wrench and a jack you should have 2 of these. the book costs about $20. rotors are usually cheap also usually takes me about 15 minutes a wheel and no i dont get paid for it i just enjoy doing it.
