Default Steering Rattle

Ok, i know i need an alignment, and new pads/rotors. But besides those, this shouldn't be happening.

When i run at certain speeds, and brake, my steering wheel RATTLES, it doesn't just shake hinting alignment, or rotors, it RATTLES. It's been like this since i got the car. I recently replaced my cable reel. I get about half an inch, to an inch in play depending on the position of the wheel. This sounds minimal, but on an autocross when im braking hard, it could cause problems. Anyone know what it could be?

it's a 93 Ex coupe, SRS, Air Bag, cruise control.

Well, its the fatc that you DO probably need an alignment PLUS balance and rotate you wheels.

if it does it only when you brake it probably has something to do with the brakes.

warped rotors were the case for me with the same situation

I have LS wheels on the car.. the rattling happens when driving too.. the problem is, before i put new suspension/wheels on the car, it did this also. I'm going to get an alignment and figure it out from there.
