well its gonna cause more wear and tear on your susp depending on the shake, dont really think theyll make the tires get off balanced... if they havent been cut before just get em cut, save yourself 150 bucks easy doing that way.

driving with warped rotors can cause all sorts of hell. find some place that does free brake inspections (plenty of thsoe places), figure out which ones need cutting, take them off yourself, drive them over (preferably in a different vehicle) and have them cut them for you for about $20 a pop, put them back on. pads are probably fine if they have enough meat on them.

it is warped rotors. i've read in some places that rams are infamous for them. time to take it into a shop and ahve them cut your rotors. possible that your pads are still ok.
If the shake is in the rear it is your rear rotors that are warped, and if it is in the steering wheel it is your front rotors. I had my rotors turned 2 times before I hit 25,000 miles! I now have 53,000 and have had no problems since the last time I had them turned.

your pads should be fine as long as you don't have too many miles on them! So I also agree to just take them in and have them turned! Problem solved!

twice is the typical limit, but it depends on how much was cut the first time.
So how many miles on the pads?
buy auto zone duralast pads, lifetime warranty, I plan on replacing every 20k miles.
