My front end starts to hake every time I start slowing down from a speed of 65MPH or higher, what could cause this?

Need more info . What type of car , year etc would help .Also is it whilst braking or just slowing down ?

Ghost

96' Escort, 1.9L MFI, and only while I'm slowing down, at around 50-55 it doesn't shake as bad or stops completely(depending on if I use my clutch to help slow down or not at 50-55)

If you were getting the shake on the way up also , would suggest getting wheels balanced and checking tyres for twists or deformation . If not , check engine and gearbox mountings and suspension , steering for excessive play or movement.If not that , check driveshafts for wear .

The tires are maybe a month new and even if I don't use my clutch it still shakes so I'm not sure if the gearbox would be it, my suspension is fine and my steering wheel is tight

I never said it was your g/box . Check engine , g/box mountings , important with front wheel drive cars .

Alright, thanks man

Hey, I've looked online and I can't seem to find what it looks like. What am I looking for?

R.S.LOGAN

Something like these , though they are expensive , specialised kit .Should be able to get standard mountings cheaper if that's what is needed .

Hows come every time I look this up for pricing it says transmission mount? Is it the same thing?
