revsupalot	2008 VW Jetta shakes a bit under braking. 60,000 miles. 2008 VW Jetta front end shakes a bit while under braking. Car has low miles. Rotors already turned and pads. Can it be tie rod ends or in the steering linkage? Still steers good. Doesn’t drift going down the road or anything, really tight.

I'd certainly re=check the rotor run-out with a dial gauge, but presuming that's okay, then yeah, tie rods, ball joints, steering rack bushings, that sort of thing.
