Is it a shake or a shimmy? When you did your front brakes did you look at the rotors? I'm sure you did but, if your rotors wasn't replaced I might suspect a warped rotor. On time on my Chevy Tahoe I was going real fast and had to stand on the brakes to stop to avoid a wreck. I heated up the RH Front rotor real hot and it warped. Thus from then on everytime I applied my brakes I would get a shimmy. I replaced the rotors and it went away. Just a thought....
