The rotors are most likely out of round. Have them machined/resurfaced.

yeah id say ur rotors are warped like pro said, and a diagram are u serious its easy, take the dust cap off take out the cotter pin with some dikes, get some pliars and take the nut off then take off the rotor the bearings should fall out too, when u put it all back together make sure u repack the bearings and get a new wheel bearing seal (u can reuse it if u dont f*** it up) its that simple. oh yeah and dont over tighten the nut when u put it all back together. hope that helps u out some.

theres nothin to be scared of its brakes, simple stuff. make sure u put a little bit of grease in the new rotors too. and when u tighten the nut back up spin the wheel at the same time u should feel pressure when u tighten it back up. thats the best explantion i can give in writing itd be easier in person to show u but im sure youll figure it out.
