Exclamation Car shakes and vibrates

A couple of days ago my car started shaking, like driving over a really bad bumpy road. or a bad tire. then it got worse as I kept driving, then when I had to stop (brake) it was really bad as if my brakes were hesitating.

now i do need an alignment but i dont know how it would cause shaking.

now when i first start up and start driving it doesnt happen but when i start to break the 1st time or even without breaking and just 5-10mins into the ride it starts to shake and like i said gets worse..

what i have had done so far:

had my tires balanced
had my tires rotated (putting the 1 used tire in the back)
had brakes inspected ( FOUND A PEICE OF METAL LODGED) and have about 2,000 miles left on them.

still doing all the same things!!! no difference

gonna get an alignment and new breaks in a couple days when i get paid but if that doesnt help anyone got some clues?

Check the ball joints and lateral control arms ... if the recall has not been done have it checked ...Also check the wheel bearings
