When I'm going 70mph or more then slow down without using the brakes my front end shakes and also when I veer left going 60mph or more same thing. I had the rack and pinion changed less than a year ago(not the tie rods). When I lifted the car up the right tire shakes little side to side and I can see the tie rod connected to the rack moving the bolt connected to the rack.

Hi:

It sounds like the front brake rotors need to be replaced because of warpage. Please check out this guide.
