Knocking and shaking when breaking?

1. Matt Says: my 05 dodge ram shakes very badly when breaking at pretty much any speed. also makes a knocking noise. had one mechanic replace the u joint and the noise wasnt as bad. the rotor and break pads are in good condition. control arm bushing are good too.
2. John Cavanaugh Says: You have a warped rotor. Who told you it was good?

None of the things that Pete mentioned would be a problem only while breaking. If any of these things caused the car to shake, it would shake all the time.
3. Pete M Says: Lots of possible reasons for shaking:

Tie Rods
Idler Arms
Ball Joints
Bent Wheel
Mismatched Tires
Steering Stabilizer
Front End Alignment
Out of Balance Wheel
Low air pressure in Tire
Bad Tire (bulge in sidewall)
