Check the steering column bush. It's the one where the column goes through the bulkhead

maybe your brake rotors starting to warp. If your handy, take em off yourself (it's not hard) bring them to an auto parts place and ask them to machine ( or turn ) your rotors. They'll charge a small fee and then stick em back on there. hope it helps.
