Mitsubishi: Wheel Shakes when I apply the brakes

Out of round drum?
Warped rotor?
Oddly worn tire(s)?
Out of balance tires?
Did they do machine work on the drums/discs? If so BE suspicious.
Did they rotate the tires? Your problem happened to me once after
rotation. You say NEW drums? If they are new and it did not do it
before I would be suspicious of those parts. If they were aftermarket
drums they might not be up to OEM spec.......Maybe the shoes were not
installed correctly. Leading shoe on rear? Chamfers poorly done?

Front rotors....Drums are in the rear and do very little braking.

I am sorry. I said the wheel shakes, what I meant is that the steering
wheel shakes if that makes a difference. Yes the drums were new and
the tires did’nt get rotated. Please reply, Thanks

Sounds like the front rotors are warped and need to be turned or replaced.

What Todd said....probably front rotors....If they were turned check to
see how much was removed. If they got them too thin they will warp
under pressure. Check front lug nuts too....If they blasted the lugs
with a monster impact wrench they may have done some mischief.
Especially on alloy rims. Loosen them and torque evenly to 75-80 lbs.
Or maybe they are loose? Make sure rims are correctly seated against
the disc flange....Tire pressures? ....Is this antilock? If it was OK
before the work it had to be something the shop did....

I don't have the spec in front of me, but 75-80 foot pounds seems on the low
side to me. I'd go to at least 95, probably 100 foot pounds to make sure
the wheels don't come off. That said, I agree with the poster that it is
important that all wheel lugs be tightened equally as this will help to
reduce the likelihood of rotor warpage. I usually hand tighten them all,
then torque all equally alternating across the wheel so all get equally
tight.
