bubba3689 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I have lived with it a while but its getting on my nerves. I have done a search but haven't found a direct answer. I have 20's and everything is stock with my suspension. When i brake the is a shake. The only thing i can think of is that my rotors are warped. it only happens when i brake. I know my wheels are balanced so can anyone give me an insight on what might be the problem. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 sounds like warped rotors to me as well, turn em and slap some pads. what do your current pads look like? mileage? couldnt hurt to do it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba3689 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 i think the pads are good. i will check tomorrow and the truck has 121k miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 if your rotors are warped you need to change your pads too cuz the wear pattern on the pads is uneven from the warped rotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 depending on the thickness of the rotors, you may have to replace them instead of cutting them.....have they ever been cut before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHO_Tek Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Is the "shake" in the steering wheel or does the truck shake? If the front rotors are warped then the steering wheel will vibrate when braking hard. If how ever the whole truck shakes it could be rear. I had the front rotors and drums surfaced and still had vibration till I figured out it was the frame harmonics causing the vibration I had, there is a bulletin on the subject.

BCSM Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I just ordered a new set of powerslots because mine is doing the same thing , tends to get worse the harder you use them. Anyway another point to look at could posibly be a separated tire also,had it happen on one of my old company trucks, would shake stuff of the dash.

mike1booth Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 a busted belt in a tire will do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYLERTXSS Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 My truck is now doing the same, what do u guys mean by cutting the rotors? And its my truck shaking so I assume its the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting stands for resurfacing, the rotor is placed on a brake lathe and the surface is scored with a blade to make it true again. Your entire truck shakes when you brake or does the steering wheel shake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
