Warped brake rotors cause shaky steering when braking. Your brake pads are designed to grip the rotor with equal power on both sides, which slows you down to a stop. If your rotor is warped, you get unequal pressure, and the affected wheel vibrates your steering wheel as it alternately releases and let go.
You may be able to get your rotors resurfaced; they put them into a machine that takes the top layer of the rotor down just enough to make it truly flat. That's if they aren't warped too badly. If they are, the only solution is new rotors, and that can cost several hundred dollars. Good luck.
