ok guys help me with this problem.. its an 03 focus sedan. when ever you step on the brake pedal the whole front end wants to jump out and the brake pedal will kick out. car drives fine until u press on the brake.i checked the tie rods and ball joints nothing wrong checked the brakes and its fine so what im thinking is the rotors or the calipers..this just all of a sudden happen at first when i noticed it was just a little shaky in the steering wheel but after letting it sit for a week it started to shake like sh*t......

Stupid question but, were any of your lug nuts loose? This happen to me a week ago and turns out two lugs on my driver side wheels were loose.
