Do you feel it in the brake pedal? If so cut rotors. If not check your suspension and steering pieces. Ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, and struts.

no no effect on steering wheel, i think i have found the problem it seem that the disk were warped after i had them turned and reinstalled and new brake pads seems the problem is solved ......thanks for ur replys
