if its only when your breaking your rotors could be warped, or otherwise i would say your control arm bushings are shot perhaps, i would check both

if it were to be your control arm bushing and you have them replaced them you might need one, but if its just your breaks, it would be a good ideal to have it check thou if you never had one, if you have more that 50,000miles i say do one anyways.

My car is in the dealership as we speak for the same problem. This is the second time it has happened. Control arm bushings need to be replaced AGAIN. They are also replacing the steering column cuz it would also shake when braking
