Try a few hard slow downs from 60mph down to 10mph, about 5-6x while never letting the car fully stop, this may clean some high spots if it is just pad deposits.
And one other thing, the lower front shock mount bolt (the big 19mm one) IIRC has a paint swab across it, so if it's ever been loosened you should be able to tell.

I did the hard slow down rebedding. It helped a little but I still have the steering wheel shake. I don't feel any deposits on the rotor. Would spraying/wiping with brake cleaner help? I could replace the rotors but I read that even new ones can have runout variations and that the only way to truly avoid that is with an on car lathe. Pep Boys charges like $80 per axle to do this. Any thoughts on that?
