I think Yakuza is on the money here - I've had this issue and changed a perfectly good set of discs believeing them to be faulty.

Although potentially more work intensive (because if its not this you'll probably have to dismantle it all again to get to something else) try the caliper sliders first - these are also the cheaper option initially.
I'm fairly certain there is a 'kit' available for the sliders in the Jimny shop that includes grease and new seals.

It's also imperative that ALL corrosion is removed from between the hub and the disc - this needs to be scrupulously clean as I'm told the disc wont sit flat on the hub and can cause the same effect.

I've got the braking shaking back again slightly, even though I recently changed the track rod ends - so may need to give my sliders a clean up and re-grease.


IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

This appears to be Death Wobble not an issue with the brakes.

See my sticky thread on Deatb Wobble or the Wiki on it.
