   but might also be you need to bleed the brakes aswell up to you but probably best to bleed brakes first if it goes then hey presto if not then get new discs and pads

   Could well be worth checking all the bolts on the brakes and the disks themselves!

   It could be the slide pins stuck.
   
   depending on what you have - you may see four rubber boots , 2 pir slide pin.
   
   If you undo the big bolts holding the caliper - so now your holding it.
   
   Slide the chromed tubular bush/slide pin in and out - the rubber gaiters allowing the movement.
   
   All four sliders should be free and easy to move.
   
   If any are stuck - this will heat one face of your disks more than the other face - you get disk warpage as the result.

   As well as warped discs your pads could be loose,if the brakes needed bleeding the pedal would feel spongy.

    i took the wheel off and kept turning the disc and it gets really tight in one particular part of the disc so must be warped, had the disc off last night and the calipers give them all a good clean up, and put them back together again. took the car out this moring and the wobble is 90% better but still there. so maybe i will need new discs and pads..
    
    Cheers for the help guys

    You got ABS ? Could be pedal kickback, which would mean broke reluctor ring or dodgy sensor... If you have ABS that is, If you dont then I'd inspect disks and pads and replace what evers nackered, then re bleed

    Lee fit the caliper without the disk.
    
    Attempt to slide the caliper on the slide pins - the whole caliper should ride in and out - If its stuck this is what is F-ing your disks.
    
    Dony put new disk on to try if above correct - Free the pins up and lube them with molyslip or your new disks will go the same way very quickly.
