It’s my alignment or tire need balance or my brake caliper is warp ? Only happen above 55mph . Also steering wheel slightly go left and right when above 70mph.
Steering wheel shaking while braking above 55mph

Faulty tire/wheel.
Maybe worn ball joints or tie rods, possibly control arm bushings. Never heard of calipers warping.

Usually if your wheels have been balanced / plus have proper tire pressure and rotations.... then it could be warpped brake rotors.
Its a shame but brake rotors while cost keeps going up are not holding up and lasting as long these days.

Sounds like a couple of problems. Braking causing shaking can be pad deposits on the rotors / warped rotors, or excessive play in the tie rods. Could also be a bent wheel.
Wandering left and right could be worn tie rods, and or pitman arm, Is this a truck?
I'd get it on a rack and check out the front end, and the brakes.

Previous comments from BITOGERs are all legit that needs to be checked by you or a mechanic, but I'll add the ones that aren't mentioned.
1) Lug nuts loose
2) Axle nut (hub nut) loose
3) Front wheel bearing/s is or are already shot
