Welcome to the site.

 

More info helps tremendously, when does it do it worse, slow braking, freeway speeds, downhill, ect….

It's not every time I brake but it is when braking from HWY speeds , shaking in the steering wheel . Truck has about 34,000 miles on it.

Warped rotor's. Possibly,,    have brake shop check on it , or dealer if you get inspection during oil change or other service.

Look for grooves ground into the front brake rotors. GM will replace for free. Bad batch from China.

 

If not that, have tires balanced.

 

GM replaced my front rotors at 11,000 miles

If it only shakes while braking,  then you have a brake issue.. Tires out of balance should be a constant shake and change with speed.

Definitely warped rotors.

I have the same issue.  It’s not brakes.  I have about 100,000 miles and on 3rd set of tires.  Seems to be associated with tire wear on front tires.  Just rotated again and looking to see it gone again.  Disappeared when new tires were installed.  This is independent front axle so no stabilizer like older live-axle designs.
