My Steering Wheel Shakes When I Break. What would cause this t happen?

When was the last brake job? Normally excess lateral runout on the disc rotors meaning rotors could be warped. Also, worn out tie rod ends.

Also, make sure the 5 lug nuts are torqued in a star pattern and each lug nut to 100 lb-ft with a torque wrench not an air impact driver.

Make sure you also check the tie-rod ends. If they have started to go bad you can get a vibration/shaking upon braking and should replace them ASAP.
