Pressing the brakes it feels like the car is going over small bumps. ?

When I press the brakes the car feels like it is going over bumps occasionally at high speeds and when I slowly come to a stop it feels like I’m driving with eggs as my tires. Couldn’t be rotors or pads or anything since I changed them recently. But I saw on some forum that it could be the ABS kicking on but if that’s the case why does my car feel like it’s going over bumps? Brought it to a mechanic and the guy said there’s nothing wrong but it just doesn’t feel right compared to other vehicles that I drive in. Any ideas?

    Bent rim, broken belt in a tire, bad wheel bearing, bad cv joint, and rotors can be brand new and warp within a few miles  if the lugnuts weren't properly torqued in sequence

    If the brake pedal pulsates while braking that's the ABS working. Why didn't you give us the year, make, model and motor size? You need an abs scan tool to read any ABS codes and to monitor the wheel speed sensor readings while test driving the vehicle. OBD II code readers don't work for that.

    Do not assume anything.  Check for ABS codes with a scanner that can check ABS codes.
