steering wheel shakes when applying brakes

What is your question?

At about 50 mph and up the steering wheel and the whole front really shakes bad. So I got the rotors turned, changed brake pads, checked fronts hubs, and all steering joints,and they all seemed fine, but it still shakes the same way.

Put drilled and slotted rotors on it. OEM style are getting too hot and warping. I ended up rebuilding the whole front end before I figured it out. It shook it all apart. About 30,000 miles now and no problems.

sounds like they are overheated. turning them makes them too thin at times and the heat dissapation is bad due to being too thin. replace with new rotors and make sure the wheels are torqued properly. Roy
