Hello, The "test" I've read about and seen done involves driving your car in the tightest circles you can. Leave the windows open and pick a parking lot with a brick wall if you can so you can hear the CV joint clicking. Other tests I don't know. Kira

I need a little more info .
1. Does it shake a low R.P.M on take off and is it the whole car or the steering wheel?
2. The shaking while braking sounds like warped rotors.

I would look the whole vehicle over on the drive train .
Check to see if there is a bad tire somewhere ,see if you have any up/down play and one of the axles also check all motor mounts .
