SERVICE BRAKES

traveling at 50 to 55mph i make a easy brake application and the front wheels will start oscillating until the front goes into a violent shake. releasing the brake will stop the shaking. this is a cutaway school bus. i'm the mechanic and the driver brought it to my attention. she noticed it while braking on a downhill. i was able to duplicate it on a level surface. haven't found the fix yet.
