Hello,
Just to clarify, it only shakes when you apply the brake at highway speed, and no other time?
You could have a worn lower ball joint or lower control arm bushing.
It could also do that if you have a out of balance tires.
I have attached the control arm and ball joint replacement procedure for your reference. Also included on how to check for worn out ball joints and control arms.
