When I am driving in the highway, there is no problem even when my speed is 100 to 140 kph. But the problem is when I slow down and exit from the highway. As I slow down, the steering wheel shakes. What must be the problem? The rear brakes and rotors had been replaced last June of this year. Thanks and hoping for your most appreciated reply.

Good morning.

It sounds like the brake rotors are warped causing the wheel to shake.

The other possibility is something in the front suspension but if it was, you would have other complaints about how the van handles.
