Most of the time it is caused by the disk (rotor) being warped for previous "locking up" the brakes. If you've ever slammed on the brakes that could be the reason why. Basically it's a rotor problem most of the time.

What causes car and wheels shake while driving and braking?

If it only happens when you are braking I would suspect warped brake rotors. Other reasons the front end could shake would include unbalanced tires or the vehicle needing realignment. Whatever the case may be; driving a car in this condition is unsafe and you should repair it or have it repaired before you drive it again.
