Yeah, it could be any of a number of things. Have you had any recent accidents or anything? Most likely shot rotors or bent drums. If nothing has happened which could potentially bend a drum then it's likely the rotors.

What's the state of the rotors and pads? When's the last time you changed them and what did you put on?

talked to my old auto mech teacher. he said either wheel not tightened or rotor turned too thin and heated up and warped. i just put brakes on a month or so ago.
