Blinking Antilock Light? Excessive Wheel Shaking?

Ive started to notice the other day that my steering wheel will start shaking like my rim is about to fall off, but I check my lug nuts and what not each time and its nothing.

Pretty much what it does is I will start driving and then about 15 mins after i start driving the steering wheel will start shaking so then i pull off on the side of the road and sit there for a few mins and then drive off again it wont do it again..WTF?

Like one time i stopped and checked my lug nuts and i noticed there was smoking coming from my passenger side fenderwell..

well today my Anti-lock light was blink while I was driving and the wheel was shaking and then when I stopped at a light it was just stay on...but it wasnt on the whole time I was driving

So now I am trying to figure out my problem...I am either thinking its the sensors or maybe my caliper or something but I am not too sure, but its starting to get annyoing


Anyone have any ideas?? I also have a video of the light going on and off if anyone wants to see

never heard of that before (usually vibration is from a bend in the rim/bubble in the tire/mount balace or alignment issues) and ive only had it to the point of the whole steering wheel shaking due to a tire blow out...but your symptom + smoke sounds scary and dangerous =[

Sounds like a hydraulic issue or frozen caliper

or maybe the hub is loose or wheel bearing is bad? abs sensor might be bad too.
