First off, my control arms are bad and I'm sure that's playing a big factor. Secondly, my brakes are kinda sticky, that may be another factor.
Anyone got any ideas as to why the shaking only happens after the car reaches operating temperature?
It starts out subtle but the longer I drive after it's warmed up the shaking gets worse and worse. If I park for a 10 minutes or so, I can drive shake-free for about 5 minutes. If I let the car cool down completely, I'm back at square one.
Help lol

Brakes are energy converters, they convert Kinetic energy into Thermal energy then dump the Thermal energy into their environment. Brake shoes expand when they heat up and would stick even more.

Re: Front end shakes after warm up
your brake hoses could be swelled up from the inside due to age (and perhaps bad or old fluid, I am not sure about that one). As you drive and use the brakes, the pads get applied to the discs ok, but because the hoses are constricted, aren't able to retract. If this is your problem, you would have extremely hot brake discs and noticeable drag when up to temperature.

Be very cautious with dragging brakes, the rotor will become very hot
