Default Jiggling?

Seems my 1999 LS 4x2 jiggles when i use my brakes.. i can kinda feel it when im below 30 mph. But its really noticable when im about to stop..I am going to check my PSI in the tires.. I was thinking it was the rotors. i think they may be warped.. any ideas if i dont have it.. and how much do you think if it is rotors..

Thanks

If the "jiggling" you describe is a pulstion in the brake pedal, then it's probably warped brake rotors and they can be machined.
If you feel that pulsation rapidly and hear a noise like a moaning sound, it's probably the ABS system.
Sorry, I don't know much about prices in the States.

depending on who's doing it..and how many you need done (brakes and rotors) probably around 200-350...cheaper if ya just need them ground out...there's only so many times you can machine a rotor..you can allways get an estimate at a few different places...unless you ...or maybe a friend wants to do it...

When my balljoints were going bad. Mine would feel like it was twitching right to left as it was comming to a stop. pulled the wheels to check the brakes and they were fine. found a bad upper on both sides and lower on one side. I replaced all four. took it for a drive and the pulling or twitching was gone. something to check.
