1998 BMW 328 Automatic 120,00 miles

It's actually a BMW 328i- there is a slight shimmy while driveing but the problem is, when you apply the brakes, no matter what speed you are going, the front of the car shakes and so does the steering wheel. If you press harder on the brakes it's not as bad. have had new brakes, rotors, bearings, and tires within the last 6 months. Any ideas?? please help, thanks

The lower control arms and the lower control arm bushings(when the bushings are worn out) can and do cause this issue. Go to Realoem.com for the exploded view and for retail pricing.
