I'm a mechanic and own a shop. This is a "classic" sign of one or both of the brake rotors being out, as in wrapped. If you feel it in the steering wheel, then this is more reason to suspect a wrapped rotor.
Glad I could help you. Good Luck!!!

Vibration in the steering wheel only when braking is a sign of warped front brake rotors. I don't like understand what you mean when you got the mchanged, but if it was just the brake pads, sorry, you need to have the rotors turned or need new ones.
This is caused by too much heat by overbraking and can be caused by overtightening the wheel lugs, stressing the rotor. It can also be caused by splashing water on the rotors if very hot.

If the brakes and rotors are fine.. your front end components are excessively worn out...
Anyone who has ever had a tie rod end break while driving can tell you horrific stories.. some people die in wrecks because of worn out steering parts.
Have the steering gear completely checked out.

1. Get your front wheels balancec
2. Have a mechanic check for worn front end suspension parts.
3. Push on your wheel and make sure it is on titght, the center nut was properly torqued and your whell isnt loose.
