Default car jerks when i brake?

almost like if the rotors were warpped. but if that was the case wouldn't there be movement in the peddle or steering wheel? i ended up having a busted CV axil so i got that replaced but its still bouncing. the brake pads are good and it makes noises but idk if that would have anything to do with it... anybody got any ideas?

Not neccessarily. I would still first look at the rotors.

yeah. rotors are what? 15 bucks a piece. just slap some new rotors on and forget about it. when they are bad and you lightly put preassure on the brake, you will feel a slight jerking motion.

dont ever get NAPA rotors, ive been through 3-4 pairs in like 8 months. They kept warping. So i got some PowerSlot Slotted rotors and not a single problem with warping ever again.
