Here's some really generic brakes/steering diagnosis (I've seen this asked a bunch of times in the last few months):
1. The steering wheel shakes/vibrates at certains speeds. This is usually due to the wheels/tires being out of balance. A quick and free check would be to rotate the rear wheels/tires to the front (assuming the rear wheels/tires are in balance). Get the wheels/tires balanced and rotated at your local tire shop.
2. There is vibration/shaking when I'm braking. This is usually due to "warped" rotors. You can try to re-bed the brake pads to the rotors. If this doesn't work you should replace your rotors and possibly replace your brake pads as well.
3. The car pulls left or right when I take my hands off the steering wheel. This is usually due to the car being out of alignment. Get the car aligned.
