steering wheel vibration

I have a 2002 3.2tl with about 70k miles.
I recently notice a very slight vibration in the stering wheel when i hit the brakes,
it does not happen all the time.
I am guessing that maybe the rotors are a little worped.
Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks.

yea i figured anyone have any suggestions on what brand of slotted and drilled rottors i should get maybe a link to a site that sells them aswell, also what pads should i get.
I am assuming that it is only the front i need to change or do i have to change all four.
Thanks for all the replies.

Have a brake place do a real inspection to see if you need rotors and pads or what is really going on
Steering parts wear out and cause vibration too
Rotor choice depends on budget and driving style
see the Off Topic area (go to top of any page here and click)
then look for Sponsored Sales- click
see Excelerate and MrHeelToe for awesome brakes
PM me for specific details and suggestions based on your needs/wants
