I have a '99 chev silverado and when I drive on the highway over 55MPH and hit the brakes the steering wheel shakes. What's the problem?

check your brakes

Hello,
The rotors are warped and need to be "turned" Brake rotors are metal that brakes squeeze to slow down the car. They need to be perfectly semetrical for smooth stopping!!

It could be your brakes grabbing too hard, it could be a wheel alignment thing, it could be your brake pads need changing or your disks need machining - these are all thing that you will need a brake specialist or a mechanic to fix for you if you dont have the knowhow

My 98 mustang did the same thing.
The rotors were warped and brake pads needed to be changed.

Probably just your brakes. Have the rotors and pads checked out

The front brake rotors are warped.

there are several things that can cause this symtom,the most common of these is a wheel that is out of balance , the second is your idler arm may be worn and needs to be replaced,this is a part that affect your drivability and you should have a more professional person look at it,there may be other parts worn on your car,good luck,delmy d

Warped rotors, possibly alignment problems also. It's happening at slower speeds too, you just aren't noticing.

if only at high speed it would be your rear brakes
