Having replaced drums and shoes on rear,and also replacing front pads and having rotors turned I still get a shaking in the steering wheel when I brake.Any ideas what else it could be.

You need to replace the front rotors, not turn them.

why would you think the rotors need to be replaced.I've had them turned and they were put back into specs.I don't understand why

You don't turn rotors into spec by turning them. You take them out of spec. When a rotor is already distorted and you make it thinner, it distorts twice as fast the second time. Also, the cut is only as good as the guy operating the machine. It is very easy to "miscut" a rotor because it wasn''t mounted straight and make it even worse than it was to start with. Rotors are cheap now and a "warped" rotor should be discarded. That's not what resurfacing is intended to do.

beings that it seemed like a fairly respectable brake shop that I took them to,I'm finding it hard to believe that the rotors need to replaced.Would anything else cause a similar problem.Maybe something in the steering or rack and pinion possibly.

Ditto with HT - days of turning rotors are about done. With metallic pads the rotor was probably out of spec before taking more off. They are usually marked for min thickness and bet if you measure one they are under spec AND possibly miscut as said. So that's two ASE certified opinions,
