Vibration Help

My 2003 Ford F250 V10 seems to have a vibration, sometimes at all speeds and sometimes at freeway speeds. I replaced front hub assemblies and ball joints and rear calipers last year. when braking i have a vibration in rear as well, which i think is from uneven rotor but can it be causing my vibration? also sometimes i can smell hot brakes from the rear.

It might be time to replace the brake hoses, inspect the caliper pins and flush the system with new brake fluid while you are there, SpeedBleeder on each caliper makes the job easy one person ordeal.

Yes if your brakes are dragging they will heat up and vibrate... Try driving and not applying brakes for awhile. pull over and see which brakes are hot.. That will get you in the right spot if one or two are tight.
