I would first check the rotors for runout. Remove the caliper, place something stationary up against the edge of the rotor, spin it and see if it is running true.

If I found one that was out of round I would try removing the rotor and cleaning the hub and back of the rotor. There may be some debris on the mating surface. If not, you simply have a bad rotor.

If I couldn't detect a rotor that was not spinning true, I would try cleaning both hubs. If the problem is still there... Replace the rotors again...

Good luck!
