Why does my steering wheel shake and brakes shudder when I apply the brakes?

When the steering and brake pedal shake this is usually because the disc rotors on your vehicle are no-longer running true (or warped). To rectify this, the disc rotors must be machined or if they have been machined before and are found to be under size, they must be replaced.

If you have this issue with the steering wheel particularly, it’s probably the front rotors that need attention. If the shaking is felt through the pedal itself, it’s likely the rear rotors.
