When ever I brake my steering wheel starts to shake considerable, my friend told me my rotors are warped. Is this correct, if so I will go get them turned....I have front disc brakes with rear drums on a 98 SE with 65k and a v6 duratech, i had new rotors put on in june.

-Jason, thanks alot!

Most likely the rotors are indeed warped. Very common with these cars.

could be the rotors, or your tires might need balancing.
if you drove in mud lately that could be it too, check for dirt on the inside of your rims.
I bet its the rotors, and your rotors should be still under warranty if they are from Ford.

99.999% certain it is warped rotors.

Cough up the bucks and buy new ones, they aren't that expensive. Besides if they have warped once they will likely warp again.

FYI:
A common cause for warped rotors is improperly tourqued lug nuts.
