shaking is likely caused by a warped brake disc... culprit?
rapid cooling of the hot discs whenever we send car into wash yards... remember the cleaners spray water to clean our car, rims and tyres included.

2 options:
(a)  change the discs
(b)  grind the discs flat again; recommended to grind only once since discs will become thinner
i took option (b) and the shaking is gone.
now, i avoid petrol station car washing as far as possible  ;)
