Braking noise and wheel shake

So after fixing my radiator I ended up taking a corner going about 50 and braked really hard. Now there's a sort of beeping noise under light low speed braking coming from my drivers side front wheel, should I replace them both with Powerstop on Rock Auto? Also when going highway speeds (70 for me) There's a good amount of shake in the steering wheel, not sure if i should be worried about this but i do plan on going down to Missouri in about 2 weeks

Beeping huh?

Have you jacked up the car and done the old pull on the tire and feel for play?

Then search for broken sway bar end links.

20 year old cars, bunch of 20 year old rubber in there.

I know my UCAs are going but thats more of a popping sound over bumps, my theory is that i chipped a brake pad with that stop, i can feel a little tapping in the dead pedal when it occurs.

Replaced the end links up front just after christmas

Is the shake in the steering wheel only when braking?

If so, new rotors and pads should take care of it. While you're there, I'd check the wheel bearings too.

I should clarify these are two things. The steering wheel shaking is when im cruising at highway speeds. The noise is only when light braking

I'd jack up the car and spin each wheel. Look at the tread as it spins, make sure they look even, if it does, have them balanced.
