Here’s a quick review of possible causes: Warped Brake Rotors Most modern cars have disc brakes, although some have discs in the front and drums in the rear. Pressing the brake pedal forces the brake pads to squeeze against rotor, creating the friction needed to stop the vehicle. Over time, the brake rotors can develop a variation in thickness (also known as parallelism). The variation of thickness of the rotor then causes it to wobble side-to-side as it rotates. If your vehicle has drum brakes am out of round brake drum could be the cause Some vehicles, like trucks still have drum brakes in the rear.
