have you checked your rotors and pads?

the shaking could be a warped rotor... it could also be a link in your front end that is loose/worn, letting the wheels move independant from one another. you can somtimes check the later (if it's really bad) by jacking up one side and trying to move the wheel.

if the squeeling is just when braking, then the pad is worn down or you've got road debris in there... do you have grooving in that rotor? how bad is the squeel?

The squeak is the warning bars on the pads and this means it is time for new brake pads ASAP.

The wobble or shake you feel when you are braking is warped rotors. You either need to get them cut (resurfaced) or replace them.

I do not recommend cutting them unless they are basically brand new because this process shaves off material until the rotors are usable drasticly reducing the life span of the rotors.
