* Worn or damaged brake pads or rotors. This is the most common cause of a shaking front end when braking. When brake pads or rotors are worn or damaged, they can cause the brake calipers to vibrate, which in turn causes the front end of the vehicle to shake.
* Loose or damaged wheel bearings. Wheel bearings are responsible for supporting the weight of the vehicle and allowing the wheels to rotate smoothly. When wheel bearings are loose or damaged, they can cause the wheels to wobble, which can also cause the front end of the vehicle to shake.
* Damaged or bent steering components. Steering components such as the steering rack, tie rods, and ball joints are responsible for controlling the direction of the vehicle. When these components are damaged or bent, they can cause the front end of the vehicle to shake.
* Tire problems. Tires that are out of balance or have uneven wear can also cause the front end of the vehicle to shake.
* Worn or damaged suspension components. Suspension components such as the springs, shocks, and control arms are responsible for absorbing bumps and vibrations from the road. When these components are worn or damaged, they can cause the front end of the vehicle to shake.
