It may be your wheel disc that's warped and needs to be schemed or lower control arm bushes that's perished.these are the two components that directly affects breaking and causes shuddering (if not ok)when applying brakes during your drive.wheel discs can be taken in to be schemed or replaced and lower control arm bushes(rubbers) needs to be replaced which ever is not ok. Hope you find the prob by either of these two

More than likely the brake rotors are warped and need resurfacing or replacing. Warped rotors is caused by over tightening the lug nuts or from heat caused by heavy braking.

Good question. You may have an antilock brake circuit that is not sensing the brakes correctly and improperly correcting. Anti lock pulses the brakes when you apply them. I don't know if this is perfected or not.
