Make it wiggle/vibrate when braking? Yes. Don't cheap out on the rotors or the same thing will happen again in a few months. You can cheap out on pads but, with worn rotors it will throw everything off.

If it's wiggling/vibrating when not braking it'll be a bad tire, unbalanced wheel, bad wheel bearing, or bad tie-rod. If it's any of the first 3 replace quickly but, it'll last a little while. If it's bad tie-rods replace IMMEDIATELY 'cause you can kill someone or yourself.

Also inspect the all the suspension components as several things could be worn.

Re: front rotor bent?

Re: front rotor bent?

Bad struts and/or springs. You're looking at about $1000 for both sides to repair at a shop (you always replace suspension components in pairs or you end up with even more problems). $300-500 if you do it yourself. Camber bolts are like $10-20.

Re: front rotor bent?

Push that end of the car down. It should go down, come up, then stabalize. Any more than that and you need new struts at least. You can't check the springs unless you take them off the struts.
