Unhappy 03 expi shakin

Hello,
I have a 03 2wd expedition.Problem is while at cruising speed there is little to no vibration in the steering wheel.But as soon as you step on the brake pedal,the steering wheel starts vibrating pretty bad.Could this be just that the tires need to be balanced or the front end aligned?
Thanks for info in advanced

Yes, and it could also mean that whoever rotated your tires last, or did some other work, torqued the hell out of the lug nuts and warped your rotors.

+1 for warped rotors

Could also be that they are original rotors and they're just beat. The surface came off the rear rotors on my '04. I'm going to see if Ford will cover them, as I'm still under the factory warranty.

I agree, most likely over torqued the wheels and warped the rotors. you might be able to get them turned. I'd just replace them.

Definitely the rotors. New rotors, pads will ride like new.
