Default Front end shake when braking from 30-20 mph

I have replaced wheel bearings, rotors, brake pads, cv shafts both sides, tie rod ends had tires rebalanced could rotors be warped or what else could i check? Only when braking starts to shake from 30 mph to about 20 mph feels like wheel is going side to side

You say you have gotten the alignment checked? I used to drive a 97 honda accord (Great car!) and I noticed shaking when I braked at about that speed, but as soon as I had my alignment fixed, tires rotated, etc, the shaking seemed to go away.

could be resolved against nut on the shaft of the wheel bearings or worn ball joints, and last but not least skewed rotor to be inspected and or appearance. take a visit at Honda repair for repair guide.

for future reference - is there a way to tell the difference between the skewed rotor problem vs wheelbearings on your own? or is better to take it in to the honda dealership?

In response to ur shaking problem and EVERYTHING uve done....WARP roters
U should also have it at high speed 80+ then quick hard braking as if to avoid a rear end collision
i currently experience this on my daily fwy commute 80miles. Am not promoting speeding BUT.......

Yeah, the rotor could be warped. Run your fingers across the rotor when it is cooled and check for scored.

I have recently noticed mine shaking with braking as i was preparing to exit the highway today...it seemed to be more the front end shaking than the wheels shaking, but the wheel was shaking too.
