Yeah they are warped you will need to replace the rotors and the pads because you will have uneven wear on the pads because of the warped rotors the best way to prevent that from happening is machine them everyonce in awhile or get slotted rotors. But be prepared to replace the pads and rotors. You been braking awhile with the rotors being warped that means the pads been sitting funny on the rotors when you break making them wear uneven. It could be a warped rotor or even a caliper that is sticking.

If moneys tight u can get them cut if they have never been cut before and are thick enough. and if the pads are still good just sand them smooth with some sand paper on a flat surface.

Does ALL mustang wooble when you break??? All mustangs that I have drove all do it.

Mine did but I got new brakes, ner calipers, and had the rotors turned and it felt like a new ride all over.

well most brake pads have warning tabs peice of metal that touched the rotor and makes a metal sound screach when the brake are applied, not the wobble is and can be alinement or a bent tie rod or adjuster rod. this will make the front of the car fell like you are driving over highway refectors. Not serious but a pain to drive.
