When applying my brakes firmly, sometimes my steering wheel will shake and jar back and forth. But the pads and rotors look fine upon examination.

Do you feel a pulsation in the brake pedal? Even thought the rotors look okay, they can be warped and cause this problem. Let me know about the brake pedal.

Replace the front brake rotors. They are warped.
