   if it was doing it all the time I'd say the wheels were buckled/not balanced.
   
   Whereas as it does it when braking would think it was something brake related.
   
   If you havn't touched the brakes, then my advice is to go and get the wheels balanced up - should cost around £5 a wheel

   if your brakes are juddering under braking your disks are warped.
