Intermittent steering wheel vibration when braking

[mmt]

My runner started this about a week ago. It only happens maybe 25 to 50% of the time which tells me it's not a rotor. Shakes the steering wheel a lot but not the brake pedal.

Anything common with 4th gens ?Ball joint? Wheel bearing? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Is it at a certain speed? i know my wife's car will not shake at low speeds, but will at highway speeds. I know it's the rotors.

You need to check both your front end bushings and your balljoints. I had this issue except really bad and turns out my lower bushings were absolutely trashed and barely intact. Replacing them with polybushings has solved the problem
