Default Shakey Steering Wheel

When I'm braking, my steering wheel shakes up and down. I will be doing interstate speed on I-10 and when i get off and slow down, the steering wheel rattles badly. Any ideas, i think it may be warped rotors, I got an alignment a while ago and my wheels' air presures are good and they are balanced, I'm trying to narrow this down.

It's most likely pad material unevenly transferred to the rotors. Get the rotors turned or go to Autozone and pick up some new rotors, $20-$25 each depending on model.

Could very well be warped rotors, if you ride your brakes hard and they get too hot the rotors can warp. So if they do when you stop you will feel the car shake quite a bit, not a good thing, replacement or turning the rotors would solve this

I recently just had that problem, its probably the rotors maybe your breaks? i just got new pads, callipers and rotors for the fronts. Fixed that problem right up so it doesnt shake anymore. You can get them like at napa for pretty cheap unless you want to wait and order some brembo's off ebay for cheap too.
