Brake pads?

Hey guys, my truck just recently started having some issues braking. Brakes work just fine still, but as you slow down (from about 10mph to a complete stop) The truck shakes and makes a fair amount of noise. I'm assuming this is just the brake pads probably?

Could be warped rotors and completely worn out disc pads scraping on the rotor. Better get in there and check it out.

I would recommend some hawk superduty brake pads, cost about 80 bucks but they are worth it

RiffRaff has some slotted rotors you can pick up.
I'm doing those when I do my d60.

Now this guy knows what he's talking about, x2!

Talyn, I've heard the slotted rotors don't help that much??
