There's really no way to "check it out" If you stop and the steering wheel shakes, your rotors are warped.
I would just get new pads and rotors. Parts are pretty cheap for Aleros now. I have a brake upgrade from other GM cars and the brakes, for all 4 wheels, are less than $300 and that's for slotted and cross drilled
