My lexus rx 300 has some vibration in the steering wheel, when the brakes are applied. This vibration is more prevelant at speeds above 50mph. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Note. this is my wife's car.
Thank you.

More than likely a badly warped brale rotor(s). It may be a tire, but rotor warpage is more prevailant. If you can feel the brake pedal "pulse" with light pressure while driving around town, it's a rotor problem.
