intermitten front end shake, starts when braking after driving for awhile, then shakes at all speeds. Problem getting worse.

Hi rgaden,
Well, first, have you had any brake, suspension, or other front end work done recently? Is the 47,000 miles correct? That's low for a 99 so I thought it might be a misprint. Also, does the shaking get worse if you down shift and increase engine rpm suddenly? I also wonder if you are getting a brake induced pulsing that you are calling a shake or is it a hard shake?
