Your rotors are warped. You also probably need to brake pads. Take your rotors off and inspect them for cuts and grooves. If the surface is not flat you'll need new ones. If not take them to a machine shop and have them turned. Turning your rotors will cut them down until the surface is perfectly flat and not warped. The shaking is cause when the rotors are warped and you press the brakes and the rotor applies more pressure where it's high and less where it's low, thus causes it to shake

Replace the rotors and pads. these rotors rust from the inside out, they will not be able to be turned as the rust is from thr inside. Napa premium rotors now come painted on the inside of the rotors they seem to hold up pretty good . i Dont know why you would not be able to paint your replacement rotors just keep the paint off of the pad surfaces

Shaking while driving

The shaking can be the brakes, rotors, tires, poss alignment or wheel balance. It may also be connected to that CV boot that is torn and leaking which affected the axle. It has to be lifted & checked out. Good luck

Have 2004 dodge ram1500. have a wicked shimmy at slow speeds, feels like tires r going to fall off. shaking is still there at higher speeds. tire pressure is good all the way around. truck drifts to t

I had a similar problem, it turned out to be the front U joints. Have them checked very soon! I drove mine for a while before fixing and my tires were ready to fall off. Could have caused a very bad accident.

Brakesa are jumping when brakes are applied

i do believe you mean the service brakes, and when pushing the brake pedal the truck shakes?

Pad transfer will cause uneven brake discs with humps on em. Every time you then step on the brake pedal you'll feel the pads going over the humps, causing the shakes.

The best way to get rid of this is to replace the disc brakes with new discs.
Remember to change the pads too.

Shaking on the highway

Check your wheel bearings and at the same time check your brake pads.

Truck shakes ungodly bad

It is possibly the steering stabilizer. It can give a death shake when hitting a small bump at higher speeds

Front end problems

You seem to have more than one problem, first of all the balding tire you have a negative camber problem that can be adjusted by getting a wheel alignment done. The shaking problem while applying brake could mean that you have bad/warped front rotors. It can also mean bad Tie rods. Lastly it can mean that the front tires needs to be high speed balanced. Good Luck
