it is usually the brakes, it is caused by a "warped" rotor caused by inproper break in of the pads and the rotor, you can see the procedure on stoptech.com.either replace the front rotors or have them turned. also, make sure you check the slide pins and make sure they have enough grease in them and move freely. synthetic brake grease is best, it is avalable at napa.

if you got any more questions, feel free to ask
