Miniature flat tire...ish sound when braking?
Well jeeze if its not one thing it's another with my car lately - For a while now, if I come to a slow stop, it sounds like I have a very subdued-sounding flat tire. That is to say, it sounds like a constant *pat pat pat pat* until I come to a full stop. It' smore noticable when slowing down from faster speeds.
I've also noticed that when I brake, my car does the infamous jerk-back-and-forth-gently motion until I'm stopped. This leads me to believe that the sound and the gentle jerk back and forth could be due to a warped rotor. I hope it's not something with my rear end, though.
Does anybody have any ideas what else this could be or what I could check for?

Yes you check it with a dial indicator. Most shops do brake checks for free so if you dont have the gauge, take it in and ask for the runout readings. Anything over .006 is a problem.
