Shakes or Wobbles problem
1996 Oldsmobile Ciera 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive

My car has been shaking lately. I think it has a lot to do with running it on an empty gas tank a few days ago. It had been making a grinding noise when I braked a few weeks ago, but was otherwise running excellently. It's still fine once i get it going. However, it shakes noticeably when I have it on brake. What part of the car should we be looking at exactly?
