My moms 96 honda civic is acting up. I dont know how to explain it on here best but i will try. It drives smooth when you have your hands on the steering wheel going forward. but when you start to hit the brakes the steering wheel shakes violently. and then makes a vibrating sounds too. Let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

Strongly suggests warped brake rotor or a bad rusted spot on one or both fronts. No matter the whole thing needs inspecting, brake, bearing, front end parts and wheels,

Ok thank you...I didnt know if it was her brakes or rotors going bad or what? because it happens as soon as you tap the brakes. it shakes like as if you are going 50 mph and like you have a bad tire(as an example).

Re: My moms honda Sign In
Everything that turns, wheels, tires, bearings, brake rotors (fronts, some use drum style for rears) can be part of the issue but since it triggers it when you apply the brakes the first concern is the "trueness" of the front rotors since you feel it so much in the steering wheel.

Any marginal/worn part could make the feeling that much worse. In short - it probably needs a good front brake job and inspect all the wheels, tires and other items as well,
