Default My steering wheel shakes :(

Not all the time. I believe its every once in awhile when im slowing down or stopping my steering wheel will shake, It was like this when i bought the car, I asked mike he said its my brakes.
Can I fix this myself>? If so how?
(Detailed instructions please)

well...

its probably warped rotors, you could take them to like autozone and have them turned (if they are in spec) or else buy new ones...

Hey, mine does too! Except I got raped at Just Brakes, and they started out by squealing, still do about 5 months later, and now...the car shakes too!

Wonders never cease!

Since you purchased a vehicle in the first place that shakes when slowing down Im going to assuming you'll want to save yourself some money on this. If that the case I would suggest that you remove the rotors and have someone drive you over to autozone and have them turned. It will cost less than buying lunch if you just bring them rotors to them instead of paying for them to monkey them off your car for you.
