Default Vibration WTF!

When I'm crusing on the highway at 60 mph or more I'll hit the brake and it will vibrate hard. Anything less than 60 it wont vibrate. Now i'm pretty sure it's not the brakes it feels more like steering. If I hit the brakes hard on the highway the steering wheel vibrates really bad. If I hold the steering wheel real tight it seems like I can stop it from vibrating. So now i'm trying to figure out if it's suspension or steering related. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It may be rotors but they are new with only 3000+ miles on them. The vibration feels more like something with the steering .It doesnt have that typical warped rotor feel. I need more suggestions. This just started happening today. Thanks.

ok ,,, chk all the frt suspension ( inner + outer tir rods, ball joints, etc,, etc.). for loose components and chk the tires as well

and it does not matter if rotors have only 3000 miles on it ,, if you bought some cheap brand , it is not unusual to see that happen ..Also chk the rear rotors ( drums ) for warpage ..

If you ares till not satisfied with this advice, than my friend i am all out of advices ..
