99 Nissan Maxima is shaking while depressing the break pedal. The car has no vibrations otherwise. I replaced the brakes, calipers, rotors, and it still shakes the front - and you can kinda feel it in the steering wheel. The faster you go, the faster it shakes.
The steering is very tight - with very little play. Has about 160k miles on it.

Sounds like the tire(s) needs to be balanced.

Did you machine the new rotors to the cars wheel bearings? Or what we call on car brake lathe. Did you have all four tires ballanced on a Hunter GPS 9700 road force tire ballancer and have the tires and rims checked for road force variations? Road force more than 11 lbs can shake the steering wheel. Then buy new quality tires not just cheep tires will do. Besides tire contact is the only way you control the car.

Sounds like you may have warped rotors, or a bent wheel. If you have a bent wheel, there are places that can fix it for about $100.

Alignment? Wheel balalncing? Ball joints? Rotors need to be remachined?

I think it is the ball joints and you might want to look at the axles but it sounds like the lower ball joint is going out and if it does the wheel could fall off so be carefull

sounds like you need wheel bearings. they are about $65 dollars a piece and your going to need a bench press to put them in with. you could also have a axle shaft that is bad to. does your car make a clicking sound when going around corners?

Could be a worn CV joint , quite cheap to get replaced in brake /exhaust type garages.

I'd check the front susp. like shocks or struts or the wheel wells for weakness

Brand new rotors can be warped, i've seen it happen, take and let them see if they need turned.
