i was doing about 110 when i needed to slow down and when i started the front end started shaking. would this be considered "normal" or is there a problem?

Warped rotors if you were braking when it happened.

car stock? lsj? milage? you probably need an alignment but for now take off your front wheels and then re torque them correctly back on. Had a similar problem at 65/70 bc tire shop didnt put them on correctly.

LSJ is an engine code. if you have an 2DR LS you DO NOT have an LSJ.. LE5 i think is what you have... i think... not sure... someone will correct me if i'm wrong.

if his car is an 05-08, his motor is the L61. If it's an 09-10, he has the LAP.
