I am the owner of a 1993 Buick LaSabre with 209,000 miles and the reliable 3800 engine. When I apply the brakes the car shakes pretty good. I have had the drums turned and then replaced. I had the master cylinder replaced and the shaking stopped for about 2 weeks and since then the shaking is steadly getting worse. Would someone have any ideas what to do. My mechanic is stuck. Thaks for your time. :D

Only 2 or 3 things will do it.
1.) Bad rotors, and yes if you put the cheapo chinese rotors on you're asking for trouble!
2.) Worn front end parts or tires.
3.) Weak motor mount.
