WHEN I APPLY BRAKES FRONT END SHAKES
A few possibilities
1. Front disc's may be warped
2. Rear drums may be out of shape
Easy way to check gently pull the handbrake lever when going forward if the drums are out of shape you will feel vibration through the lever.
3. Front wheel bearings may have excessive play
4. Suspension component(s) worn
wishbone bushes are a common failiure on Escort's
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Sounds like you have bad brake pads or rotors ..if you are not mechanical take them in somewhere ......if the brake pads are left too long the metal will wear away the rotors and then it all needs to be replaced....hopefully just the pads need replacing but it sounds like if it is shaking that bad rotors are gone too. usually the pads will make a sqeaking sound when the get to worn so you know that they need replacing.

Either have the rotors resurfaced or replaced...likely this will solve problem.

You may have a bad engine support. Open the hood and inspect the engine support (the one holding the engine to the chassis). It should be made up metal with hard rubber inside. If the rubbers are cracked or missing compared to the other side, then you need to have this replaced.
