I would start off getting your disks checked for warping most garages will be able to check for you.

Your discs could be warped, more so being an auto as you're harder on the brakes. This is usually checked with a DTI gauge, but by the time you've bought a DTI gauge you're half way to buying discs and pads.

There is also a chance it could be the bushes on the rear of the front wishbones, it is worth checking.
