To anyone:

1989 BMW 525i. When braking, I get a significant shaking in the front end (the steering wheel shakes significantly too) when (and only when) speed is decreasing, beginning at 45 mph and ending at 40 mph. If I apply the brakes very hard, there is no shaking. I have had the front brakes replaced and the ABS checked and both seem fine. The same problem occurred with an old set of tires and the current new set, so it is unlikely to be the tires. Have also had it aligned and had some front end work done (don't really remember which part was replaced) -- the same before and after.

The perception in the steering wheel is that it is being forced to the left and then right, several times per second. Holding it tighter does not affect it.

Anyone's suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
