If its at acceleration they eitrher havnet balanced or alligned your wheels properly. last possibilty would be ball joints.
On braking, if its violent shuddering then get your rotors machined.

what your decribing is both unbalanced wheels and warped disc rotors. you say it starts to wobble after 80k's (unbalanced wheels) and even more so when you jump on the brakes (warped rotors) have you had any other front end work done recently? possibly something was not re-tensioned. might also pay to check if you wheel nuts are tight too.

get a wheel alignment and balancing now, if problem persists, machine your rotors. this soloution brought to you by panadol, the most trusted pain remover.

You may have thrown a wheel weight. Rotor warp is common on falcs as they heat up and warp giving you the shudder under brakes. You may even have flatspotted tyres if you have locked them up recently.

Ok after having a read of this post I come to one conclusion.
If under braking and the whole car shakes then the problem is the Rear Rotors. If only the steering shakes after braking the its the front rotors. I just got new front rotors for mine (my commodore steering wheel shaked while under braking but the same principals are on every other car.) As for the whole car shaking while gaining speed then I can give you some suggestions. Engine and Gearbox mounts loose - remedy is to tighten them up. Ball Joints and Tie rods ends - You can tell if they need replacing by jacking the car up and try moving the tyre up and down and side to side for ball joints and tie rod ends. If there is movement then they need replacing. Front and Rear rotors - read the above Wheel balance and Wheel alignment issues Wrong Tyre Pressures Incorrectly worn tyres - had this problem on the family hyundia, inner edge had worn way too badly on the fronts. Can't think of anything else but there is heaps more to add to that post.

Could be the Bearings are well used and worn inside the front rotors.

and looking at another post it can always be as simple as loose wheel nuts.
It will pay to check the simple things like those before you start taking it to a mechanic because they will charge you an arm and a leg for what they do sometimes. It's not as much what they spend to fix it its the initial progress of diagnosing the fault (known as labour). If you can do it yourself then read the posts that every one has made carefully (except the wheel alignment, you have to take that down to a tyre place to get it done, and if you know someone that will do it cheap then all good.)
