I'd say balance issue, or a possible bad inner or out tie rod..

Wheels are balanced and tie rods dont have any play

Warped rotors

Warped rotors would have been my next guess as well, and would explain the intermittent nature of the issue. Sometimes the brake pad is just touching a bit of the rotor, sometimes it pulls back far enough that it's not.

cant be that. the car shook when i got it, after i changed the rotors and pads it still did it. thats a good guess though.

Pop the strut tower caps off, and have a friend work the steering wheel back and forth. The strut mounts shouldn't move much more than 1/4". The next check is to make sure the struts are working (out of balance wheel plus a bad strut means the tire hops down the road).
