so far most of the people ive talked to say this sounds like a warped rotor, but i just want to be sure before i go spend $160 bucks. i have obnoxious squeaking when i turn right (and now left sometimes) that goes away with hitting the brakes. also, id say about every 2 out of 5 stops, right before im about to be at a complete stop, it feels like ABS just kicked on (being on dry pavement) for a split second, the brake pedal pulses heavily and the steering wheel kicks hard right. sound like a warped rotor??

You could always bring the rotor to be checked before you go buy new ones....

Usually any place that turns rotors. Either than or find someone with a dial indicator and a magnetic base and check the rotor yourself!

That's what I meant..not sure who turns rotors. And it seems weird that I have a warped rotor even if it doesn't happen at every stop? Stupid truck...

If it was warped, you'd feel it everytime you hit the brakes. Ever had warped rear drums before? Now that's a fun stop!

I paid around $200 for all 4 rotors that are on my truck. I hope they give you vaseline with your new rotor after they charge you $160.

And I'm with Kyle Im very skeptical of it being a rotor. Change your brake fluid and go from there.

Good Sunday morning Connecticut!

Miles, sorry to hear your truck is acting up.
Brendon, that looks like a cool little tracked toy.
