Shaky Front End on a truck? Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting Atreides603 New User Feb 28, 2011, 9:12 PM Post #1 of 4 (1709 views) Shaky Front End on a truck? Sign In 1996 Ford F-150 5.0 Liter V-8 4WD 120,000 miles When I press the brakes in my truck the entire truck shakes, There is also a gentle pulsating in the brake pedal. I have experienced a pulsating when the rotors need turned and this is not nearly as severe, so i do not believe that that is the problem. The brakes are also only about 2 years old with about 20,000 miles on them. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what parts I need to replace.

Sign In If you are only feeling it when the brakes are applied, then it is brake distortion causing it. I don't recommend turning them though. they need to be replaced or the problem will come back even quicker the second time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Do you mean to replace the calipers, pads, and rotors or just replace one or two of these items. The rotors and pads are only about a year and a half old with about 15,000 miles. If the problem is most likely in the rear end please let me know. I also noticed a crack in my pad when i removed it.

Sign In You do need to determine whether it's the front or the rear causing it. I would have expected it to be the front. Once you determine which, replace the pads and rotors. You may need to use a dial indicator to determine which ones are causing the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
