Default Body roll when Braking..??

hey people,

Im going to try and explain best i can as to what happend and have no idea why this would be..so hoping someone out there would.... ;-)

I was driving in a dual carriageway on a straight approaching a mini roundabout doing about 80-85 pressed the brake slightly and the car body started kind of rolling side to side...brakes didnt lock as i didnt press to hard...seemed like body roll in a bend but this was a straight...!!

Any ideas?? car is a uk turbo 99 - all disks, pads etc are good.

Cheers!
