ive heard that unbalanced wheels can do that. you can try turning your rotors. thats probably your best shot.

my truck had thin lock washers on the lugs,2 on each wheel.that wouldnt let the wheels seat flat on the mounting surface.I just tore them off and threw them away.I think if that was the prob you would have noticed right away like i did.

How much weight is on each wheel? Is the weight the clip-on or the adhesive backing?

He is right, just take them off, they are used to hold the rotors and drums in place during assembly.
