When the brakes are applied the front end starts to vibrate as the car is moving on streets, roads, highways and interstate highways. Not during a turn, yet. Just moving forward.

When vehicle hits "wash board" areas such as small indentations in pavement or small potholes it goes airborne(65-70 mph) and when it comes down the back wheels aren't tracking the front wheels causing vehicle to lurch to one side or other.
