I have been having problems with shaking in my steering wheel when braking. Today, in additon to the shaking, I noticed a light grinding noise when turning mostly to the left (although it happened once to the right as well). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,

Have the front brakes inspected for wear, you may almost be metal to metal, the vibration under braking is normally due to brake rotor warping.

It may also be a symptom of worn lower control arm brackets.
