our rotors warp if you breathe on them the wrong way. That would explain the wheel moving. But the entire column? Never heard of that one.

well not the column, just the steering wheel, starts shaking heavily at high speeds when the brakes are just lightly applied

Also you might want to check the insides of your rear tires for cupping / uneven wear. Sometimes if your alignment is off they'll get cupped and cause vibrations during braking or turning at high speeds.
