If its shaking side to side could be a tire out of balance or maybe a mechanical issue (wheel bearing, alignment, etc). Probably not a safety issue, but it can wear the tires out prematurely which can be expensive. Warped brake rotors are the most likely cause if the steering wheel only shakes when applying the brakes.

∙ 16y agoi had the same problem with my 93 GC limited which has a solid front axle. in that case if the vehicle has a solid front axle check the steering stabilizer shock. what you do is remove the shock if it easily compresses and you kinda here liquid bubbling then it is bad. in my case i replaced it and the shaking went away. if you have a lift kit make sure to get a heavy duty shock. one more thing to check is the front brake rotors for any warpage. if the vehicle shakes after hitting a bump in the road its a good chance its the stabalizing shock.

If the steering wheel shakes, but to car doesn't, when applying brakes - your front rotors are warped (if you have disc brakes)...if you have drum brakes, the drum could be cracked or the pads worn unevenly If the whole car shakes, and the steering wheel only seems to react to that, when applying brakes - see above statement, but apply to the rear end. If the whole car shakes, including the steering wheel - all four corners are bad, and you're an accident looking for a place to happen soon. In any case, go to your nearest service center ASAP.
