Rep Power: 0 Front end shake when braking between 35-30 mph
New to the site. I have a 2007 honda civic lx sedan w/ automatic.
The issue I have is that when I am braking, the steering shakes when I deselerate from about 35-30 miles per hour. It doesn't shake any other time during accelerating or braking during other speeds. If I step on the brakes harder, the shaking goes away and again it only happens around 35-30 miles per hour.
I took the car in and had a front end alignment done and it hasn't fixed the issue. I am curious if anyone on the board might know what else to check?
Also as a side note:
After I bought the car I noticed that it must have been in a small front end accident because the return line for the a/c which sits right in the front under the radiator was twisted. Not sure this has anything to do with it, but wanted to bring it up to make sure.
Thanks in advance.

i think the brakes are just messed. get new pads and rotors and you should be fine. someone was prolly too hard on the brakes or riding them for a while heating them up.
