Answer
Did you try replacing the rotor`s?If they are warped or have groove`s wore in them it will cause this problem.
Answer
I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR CAR TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC;AND HAVE YOU BRAKE KIT CHECKED.... IT IS A LIL BOX THAT HOLDS ALL YOUR BRAKES HARDWARE. BUT ON MY GRAND AM I HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM AT ONE POINT IT WAS THE BRAKE HARDWARE KIT... AND ONE TIME IT WAS THAT MY BRAKE PADS WHERE FINE EXCEPT THAT MY CALIPER SLIDES DID NOT COME OUT EVENLY...THEY NEEDED GREASED AND THE CYLINDER WAS PUSHING THE BRAKE PAD OUT AGAINST THE ROTOR UNEVENLY.... SO ONE OF THE FRONT 4 BRAKE PADS WHERE WORN DOWN TO THE METAL ON ONE SIDE....SO IT WOULD SOMETIMES HIT THE BRAKE ROTOR SOMETIMES.
