Front end brake chatter

I have been having some brake chatter for awhile now. I have changed pads, changed rotors, rebuilt both front calipers, flushed all my brake fluid, and made sure my slide pins were good and free. I have noticed some weird wear on the new front rotors and was wondering if it was normal or not. I have no idea what else to do, any suggestions?

On a different note, I am having to replace my parking brake pads. When I had the axle out I looked in and saw a bunch of gunk. I was just looking on suggestions as to what I should do/should I be worried about this. Thanks

I would need pics of the rotors from a different angle and the old pads/new pads.


Something sure is wrong here.


It may just be the pads with incorrect compounds.

The old pads are gone. What other angles would you need?

Just got done with the parking brake replacement, so I think I'm done for the night. I will post some more pics of the front rotors tomorrow, anything specific/angle that will help you diagnose it?

This tire on this side also started to feather and cup (I think thats the term), so I replaced the shocks, but the other tire did not do this. Not sure if relevant or not...

Have you checked your wheel bearings?


Put the tire on. Then see if you have some movement in the hubs.


That is about the only thing I can come up with.


A little strange wear on the rotors but the thickness is uniform.

Maybe a few thousand miles on them, and I guess you mean the mounting bolts on the hubs? Yes, everything was torqued to spec.

It's a 2000. I'm gonna be getting some new tires pretty soon hopefully, so I think I'll just wait on the rotating. Would a balance or alignment issue cause this?
