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

it could be getting more loose as it heats up, and messing with your abs sensor... thats just a wild guess tho...
