Steering Column Repair: Steerling issues, car brakes, ball joints


Question
Hi Pete!

Ok i have a question on the steering on my car. iam not sure what "steerling column" means but i see the word steerling so im guessing you would know about what i am going to ask..LOL "your probably thinking omg! this kid is dumb" OK anyway..When im driving on the expressway and sometimes just driving in general, when i apply on the breaks lets say going over 50mph the steerling wheel starts to shake. I dont know whats wrong with it. I took it in to the shop and they said it wasnt the brakes, and i clarified what was going on. They didnt seem to really know...which surprises me. I got the alignment checked and they said it wasnt that. I checked the fluid. Its at a good level. So my guess is it may have something to do with the brakes also. I dont know, you may not know about the brakes also but iam thinking that the brakes are the issues with the steerling issue. Because sometimes when i step on the brakes the car brakes fine and other times the pedal goes all the way to the floor and brakes really bad. I got the brakes checked too! and they said it wasnt the brakes..i just got them done not to long ago. so i really dont kno whats wrong with my car! haha..my friend told me it may have something to do with some balljoints or something to that extend. ball joints regarding the brakes. but i am really clueless as u can tell and it seems no matter where i take it..no knows or acts like it. I also checked the brake fluid, it seemed fine to, i dont know what to do.i am suppose to take my car to let this guy check it out tonight but im ify cause i have no idea on whats going on with it so i just dont want to get ripped off. I wannt to at least have a good idea.
well pete if you could get back with me asap it would be greatly appreciated! but if your busy or have other things i understand. if anything THANK YOU for reading this.

sincerly,
