When I brake or slow down to turn my car hops. Or Shimmies? I recently had replaced the Right Front Wheel Bering and I had it aligned 4 mths ago. Why is it shaking when slow down?

Does it only happen when the brakes are applied? Have you checked to make sure there are no shifted belts in the tires? Have you checked steering components such as tie rods for wear?

No. Actually it does it when I'm going slow around town or when I go around 50 mph also?

Make sure wheels are tight, tires are properly balanced, none of the rims are bent, and make sure none of the tires have a shifted belt or uneven wear. If that all checks out, you need to check steering components next. Start with the tie rods.
