I have a 98' Accord EX w/ 115k miles that now has a pressure/rumbling feel
and the steer wheel jitters when applying the brakes at higher speeds (ie:
highways). The issue started happening after the rear brakes were repaired.
The feeling definitely appears to be coming from the rear. Any ideas?

Who did the work? If not you then take it back
Now go for a quick drive. While driving, carefully apply the brakes. If the
wheel trembles, I'm thinking front brake rotor are out of round. A way to
verify this is to slowly and carefully apply the parking brakes while
driving (not enough to skid or stop the car) If when doing this there is no
vibration, then it is the front brakes. rear brakes generally don't make the
wheel move.
