could be a couple things. if you recently had tires replaced and didn't have them balanced and have an alignment done could be your prob. or it could be wheel bearings. take it to a shop to make sure though.

you need brakes in a bad way.

the noise you hear is your brake rotors grinding metal to metal. OUCH!!

Also, sounds like the rotors are warped if the steering wheel is shaking when you brake.

Could also be an ABS malfuntion but get the brakes checked out first before going any further.
