Steve,
I'm closing on 18,000 and have noticed the same problem since using the
brakes hard from speed at about 12,000. I blamed it on a tire which had
cupped but a new tire and the problem remained. I'm going to have it checked
at the 18K check in a week or two. Let me know what you find with yours.
