Default Steering wheel vibration

I've got a 95 JDM H22 ( Avid race mounts, stock swap axles) in a 93 EG Si and when I go past 140 the steerign wheel shakes like crazy like it's going to fall off or something. Didn't have this problem before. What could it be? Bad alignment, driveshafts, wheel bearing? Also when I brake you feel pulsation under the car and on the pedal as if it's coming from the driveshaft.

Thanks

Balance the tires, and see if that helps it.

My bad didn't catch that. But yah check the balance on the tires, if you have a run out gauge you can check to see if the rotors are warped a little bit (that's all it takes) and yes a bad drive shaft can cause it also. Just start with the less expensive first.

This would only occur when he would be braking. Try balancing your tires. And for God's sake, please don't drive in public like that. Save it for the track.
