F-150 Rear End Vibration
gueron,
I haven't fixed the problem yet. I thought my brake calipers were sticking so I replaced them and the hoses because they can calapse and prevent the caliper from releasing. That didn't help. The problem has gotten worse from when it first occurred and that has helped me figure out the wheel is getting hot. Just a short trip around the block will not make the rear end vibrate but I have now figured out that my wheel hub is hot after just going around the block. Last night I pulled the caliper off to see if I could inspect the parking brake. The caliper slides right off so I don't think that is the problem. I have yet to figure out how to get access to the guts of my emergency brake to see if that is where the problem lies. I know it is not the emergency brake cable because it is releasing. In fact I can unhook it with relative ease. I can't imagine it is a bad bearing with only 60K miles nor would I expect it to get hot just going around the block. It has got to be the emergency brake.
