One likely cause is warped rotors. This can be caused by over torquing the lug nuts or by overheating the brakes. Have your front disc pads inspected and the rotors looked at. If the rotors are indeed warped, replaced the pads and have the rotors turned and trued. It can also be a loose wheel bearing, loose lug nuts, or a problem with the tires. Everything needs to be looked at. When the wheels are replaced make sure they use a torque wrench and torque them to factory specifications.
