Will this make this happen?
I was wondering if bad or warped front rotors would make the front end feel a little loose or a bit out of control. My front end seems to have a mind of it'* own sometimes. Car wants to go left or right and I just want to go straight:? But everything seems fine.

Warped rotors will cause a vehicle to "pull' when the brakes are applied ONLY! Other wise they're not part of the equation. A "Pull" toward one side or another can be caused be various things like: Tires, Hub Bearings, Tie-Rods, Ball Joints, Struts/Springs & possibly even CV Drive Axles. :?

So, it'* not a constant pull to one side? It'* more like diving an old truck where the wheels just turn one way or the other without turning the wheel, right??

If it'* warped rotors, you'll get a shaking sensation in the steering wheel, much worse at higher speeds, especially after heating up the brakes.
You have something different.

I'd especially check the bearings. My 92 Tbird had bearings go out in the back it made the rearend feel like it was going to come around with me everytime I went around a curve or hit a bump. And my 76 Camaro had a front bearing go out but the only thing I remember about it was that my brakes were acting funny and I had a weird wobble when I turned the wheel.

my 92 sse was doing this and a bit more. The shop replaced $1,300 worth of suspension and steering components and now its good. Basically I had run it for a while while it had problems, and it wrecked a lot of other stuff :(
