Wheel bearings more than likely if its mostly just the steering wheel.

could also be you have lost a wheel weight - go get em balanced!!!

Rotors.

My Brake pedal pulsed and steering wheel shook only under braking until I replace the rotors.

If it was a wheel balance or a wheel bearing problem it would do shake at anytime not just during braking.
