Steering wheel shakes only when braking. Replaced both tires and balanced them. Replaced both front rotors and brake pads. Aligned the whole car as it is still shaking. Please help.

Hello,

Please try to rotate the tires front to rear I think you have a belt inside one of the tires that is starting to come apart.

At that miles I do not think it can be lower ball joints but you never know. Here is a guide that should help:

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Shake is still there. Got some help from my mechanic friend and says if the rotors keep grooving in making the steering wheel shake then you have to go deeper then that to the hub.

You should be able to jack the front of the car up and just spin the tires to hear which one is hitting. Then maybe you have sometime under rotor or you don't torque the wheel on correctly warping the hub.
