Steering wheel shaking and slight pulling when breaking
I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra XE 6-cylinder with 76,263 miles.
I have noticed a slight pulling and shaking to one side when I put on breaks. Now my steering wheel is shaking left to right when I drive. When my speed is over 60 mph it evens out to a slight tremble, but when I slow down it really shakes.
Do I need a front-end alignment, tires rotated, or new tires? Thanks.

hi ,
sounds like you may have what we call a brake pull which may be caused by a sticking brake caliper , the shaking goes hand in hand , if the caliper is sticking it will overheat and warp the rotor(s), have the brakes checked and repair as needed
thanks
