Torque - it happens only when I'm coming to a stop, just before a full stop at < 5mph, not at any other speed, doesn't matter how lightly I brake.

Not sure whether this happens only when brakes are hot (wife's car, have it for the day), but first noticed in the middle of the commute, so I'm guessing that is the case.

It's not the wobbly shake you get when the rotors are warped. Higher frequency, and very noticeable. The best way I can describe is, I thought I was braking on top of grated pavement, you know that kind that's used to indicate lane changes and shoulders. When it happened more than once, I thought it was funny, since I never noticed grated road during the commute before.

So, what was the cause and how did you fix it? Engine mount? Exhaust?
No recent work done over 2 mo, btw.

TIA.
