Brake problem?

My truck seems to be vibrating in the front end when braking on a descent. It is very slight and does not occur during the entire braking process. I know its the front end because the steering wheel slightly shakes briefly. Possible problem/solution? Thanks.

Mike

You will need to have the rotors turned up front that is a very common problem..

Brake problem?

Mike,

Yea, the rotor issue is real common and discouraging. I only had 16,000 on my 02' and got them (Ford) to replace all four under warranty after kicking and screaming (politely). Looks like aftermarket (ART, NAPA, etc.) is the solution commonly posted by the gurus here. Sift through the threads for more detailed solutions.

BTW, how many miles on the originals?

Good luck...

27,500 on the originals! Thanks for the input. I will check on them turning the rotors under warrantry.
